The Work Of An Eviction Deputy Not Without Surprises

In San Diego, California, the North County Times reports on the experiences of two San Diego County sheriff's deputies in connection with foreclosures. The two men are among seven deputies in North County tasked with removing people from their homes.

• [T]here are surprises. [One deputy] said that last year he walked into an Encinitas place and found the body of a man who had committed suicide. [He] also found a note, in which the man had written that he had no place to go. Another deputy said he served notice on a house, and found four kids at home and Mom at work. But this was the day and time to kick the residents out, so deputies had to call social workers to take the kids into protective custody.

In another incident, deputies escorted a pregnant woman with a the little girl at her knee out of her home. It didn't matter that she had no car to drive, nowhere to go, and that her baby was due the next day.
