In Greeley, Colorado, The Associated Press reports:

• Authorities are looking for a man suspected of taking money from people after he offered to rent them a home that was in foreclosure. Police say former Greeley real estate agent Gunnar Weber cashed two checks worth more than $1,500 from a couple who wanted to rent a house Weber claimed to own. The Weld County Public Trustee's office later told the couple the house was being foreclosed. The District Attorney's office has filed charges against Weber and there's a warrant for his arrest. The 28-year-old faces two felony counts of theft.
