JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Ken Baxley lived in his East Arlington house four years, but in 24 hours, it was no longer his home.
"I called the police and said 'Is this for real?' and they said 'Yes,'" he said. 
It was real, but Baxley says still hard to believe. Checking the court files only added to his nightmare.
"The court records said my house is no longer in our name but it is in the name of some Duval trust group," said Baxley.
Baxley lives in a deed restricted community. Like all the other homeowners he has to pay Homeowners Association fees. For two years, he didn't.
"I didn't think they were that threatening," said Baxley. "I basically blew them off. That was my mistake. I blew off the homeowners association."
Baxley saved his home from a mortgage foreclosure in 2009, but ignored the HOA notices. A few days before Christmas, the HOA evicted Baxley from his home.
The HOA and filed and won a foreclosure lawsuit against him.
"I had no clue in my mind that for $532, they would take my house from under me and make me move," said Baxley.
Baxley is now leasing an apartment, but attorney Fred Elefant said the chances of Baxley getting his home back are remote.
"The Clerk of Courts issued a title certificate a deed to the new owner," said Elefant, "so this person is out of luck."
Elefant, who represents a number of HOAs said HOAs are getting more aggressive.
"They're getting more aggressive because there are a lot of homeowners who are not paying," he said.
Baxley's warning to others is don't make his mistake.
"I want other people to know what happened to me because I don't want anything else to experience this trauma," said Baxley.
The court record reveals Baxley can recover the difference between what he owed the HOA and how much the home was sold for, but he has to file with the Clerk of Courts.
Elefant said it is not over for Baxley. If the buyer fails to pay the mortgage, Elefant said the bank will file a mortgage foreclosure lawsuit against Baxley even though he no longer owns the house.
The lesson is to take all notices seriously and always respond to court documents.

BINGO PONTIOUS AND THE DEVELOPER MOTTO

IT IS BETTER TO STEAL FROM BINGO THAN TO LEAVE YOUR BUSINESS CARD IN THE LIBRARY AND GET BAN FROM THE CLUBHOUSE.  THE DEVELOPER SAID THE SAME THING WHEN HE STOLE ALL THE ANIMAL HEADS  FROM THE POOL ROOM.  TRICIA ADAMS LOVES THESE PEOPLE.  IT IS BETTER TO STEAL THAN TO LEAVE THINGS BEHIND.

Paul Pontious

Paul has spend thousands of Bingo Money taken his friends out to dinner just so he and his wife can get elected to the CDD and HOA.  This is money from Bingo which should have been given to the winners of Bingo.  Yes, you winners have been short change.  If you look in his garage you will see two new cars.  I would like to see inside his home.  Judd Grady did not press charges but maybe the state will in unpaid taxes.  Lets see what will happen.  I have notify the state on this crime. This is the same guy that called me a idiot at the clubhouse and also in front and in back of my home.  Same guy that mailed me obscene letters to my mate and me   and also wrote "idiot" on the pool room  letter under my name.  This guy will never grow up.  And this guy is in charge of BINGO?

Little Alkio

> Little Akio ! ! !

> The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"
>
> She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Akio, a bright foreign exchange student from Japan , who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775," he said.
>
> "Very good! -- Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth'?"
>
> Again, no response except from Little Akio: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
>
> "Excellent!" said the teacher continuing, "Let's try one a bit more difficult -- Who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country'?"
>
> Once again, Akio's was the only hand in the air and he said: "John F. Kennedy, 1961.
>
> The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Akio isn't from this country and he knows more about our history than you do."
>
> She heard a loud whisper: "F_ _ k the Japs."
>
> "Who said that? -- I want to know right now!? she angrily demanded.
>
> Little Akio put his hand up, "General MacArthur, 1945."
>
> At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke.'
> 
> The teacher glares around and asks, 'All right! -- Now who said that?"
> 
> Again, Little Akio says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
>
> Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? -- Suck this!"
>
> Little Akio jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
>
> Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little shit! -- If you say anything else -- I'll kill you!"
>
> Little Akio frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the children testifying against him, 2004."
>
> The teacher fainted. As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, We're screwed!"
>
> Little Akio said quietly, "The American people, November 6, 2012."
