FL - After neighbors called Channel 9, upset about the messy house in their neighborhood, the homeowner tore apart the half-million dollar house before the bank could take it. Yep, can you say "foreclosure"?
The neighbors called about a giant backyard junk pile, while the front yard is adorned crosses and Jesus signs. Inside the home is trashed, abandoned and protected by a dog left behind.
Code enforcement has placed liens. Animal Control came to the house Monday when the dog was spotted hanging out an open second floor window. Wednesday, the pond-like pool was left open, easy access for kids and the lawn man said he is in disbelief over the rodents.
As a news crew was documenting the condition of the foreclosed home Wednesday, the brothers who abandoned the house arrived and a strange debate ensued.
"You don't feel bad for your neighbors?" WFTV reporter Steve Barrett asked the pair.
"Feel bad for the neighbors? Well, the house is obviously not up to your par," said Anthony Prisicandaro, brother of the home's owner, Mario Prisciandaro.
"And until the bank takes it, you're just going to treat it like this?" Barrett asked.
"We're not doing anything. Just come back every day. You don't know what I'm about to do right now," Prisicandaro said.
Neighbors called Eyewitness News again less than an hour later. Upon return, the house was much worse. The front windows had been smashed out. A truck and trailer was smashed into the garage door. Sinks and fixtures were ripped out. Appliances were now dumped in the front yard.
But the most surprising moment Wednesday was when Anthony Prisicandaro asked to speak again about the trashing and the anguish caused to neighbors.
"Before you left, I told you I was gonna clean up the house and now look at the house. And on the news. In Jesus' name, I really just want to apologize. I really just want to humble myself and apologize to my neighbors, apologize to the bank, to basically everybody," he said.
As for the dog, Animal Control said there is not much they can do as long as the pet is left with food and water. As for the mortgage company in California, it's unlikely they'll get back anywhere near what they loaned the guys for the house two years ago.

It looks like Mario fancies himself a businessman, as an entry on the GoBig Network names him as owner of Countrywide Financial Services, which is listed in the "real estate" category.

Further, you can find Mario and his brother's names at http://www.anycredithouses.com/Houses/Index.cfm?CountyID=341 the "'Any Credit' Way to Home Ownership." I don't think Mario's having much success in that arena personally.
