   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.
