CHICAGO (AP) - Residents of foreclosed properties in Chicago and other parts of Cook County don't have to worry about deputies forcing them out. Sheriff Tom Dart says that starting Thursday his office won't take part in evictions.

Dart says he's concerned that many of the people being evicted are renters who were unaware that their landlords have been failing to pay their mortgages. He says his deputies have no way of knowing whether they're removing someone who has defaulted on a loan or someone who has been faithfully paying rent.

...now that's a new one. Never thought of that. What about people who don't own homes but live in a building owned by someone else who is in foreclosure? All you ever hear about is "homeowners".


I'll bet even the dogs are suspiciously eyeing their fiberglass shells from PetSmart.
