cbc is reporting that there is quite a racket going on about  
people stealing property titles (under false identities) and  
arranging morgages on those titles!  ..or even arranging the  
SALE of those homes!

the only way that can happen is if realestate agents, lawyers  
and banks are complicit or slack in some way.  why wouldn't a  
bank or a lawyer verify the ownership - in person if necessary?  
my guess.. a lawyer is lazy and assumes that the papers or the  
person in front of them are true, signs off the title, and  
someone in the bank (wrt arranging the mortgage) is lazy or an  
insider.
