Despite guarded gate, almost $2 million home trashed in California golf community

        The residents of the Huntington Beach, CA, Seacliff golf community’s most upscale neighborhood may be wondering who let the dogs in.  A home in the Peninsula section of Seacliff that had been repossessed by a local bank at $1.8 million was totally trashed after no one bid on it last August.  Now, in order to prepare it for sale, the lender is spending  $250,000 for repairs on the 3,000 square foot house adjacent to the Seacliff Golf Club.

        We first learned of the destruction from GoToby.com.  Not only does the entire interior look like a war zone, but apparently ripped out toilets and other fixtures were stolen, proving that security gates, even those guarded 24 hours a day, can do just so much.
