An address error that was not caught in time led to the verdict. The Calabasas, Calif.-based company had intended to foreclosure upon another condo in Gerald and Katrina Thitchener's complex.

Because they expected to return, the family left the power on and left many of their belongings at the residence in Las Vegas while they rented a place in Arizona.
