Tom Pahnke, an inspector for Manhattan, IL, commented on my recent post about people selling things out of their foreclosed homes. His town has a best practices procedure that includes the police department in monitoring these homes. He even notified an attorney for a lender when he noticed people offering items for sale on Craig’s List. The attorney was able to get a restraining order. Tom said he routinely looks at Craig’s List and local papers to see what’s going on. Tom has generously offered to share a copy of his handout/presentation with anyone who’d like to contact him. He can be reached at tpahnke@VillageOfManhattan.org.
Hello Ms. Pieczynski,
I have a copy of the publication Tom Pahnke put together for the Village of Manhattan. I’d like to know if the Property Preservation Contact list is the most current listing. I spoke to him and he did say I could obtain this information from your website.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Valerie

I believe we both have the same list. If you look at my 5/28/09 posting there is a link you can follow. Hope this helps.
