JONESBORO, Ga. -- A Jonesboro family said they are distraught after neighbors raided their belongings when the home they were renting was foreclosed upon without them knowing. The family returned from vacation and found everything they owned on the lawn.“I received a call from a neighbor when I was coming up the road saying the items of my house had been put out on the lawn,” said Bridget Harris. “It was embarrassing. My things were here for six hours. I came home, and children were riding my kids’ bicycles. They even took food from the property.”Harris said she’s been left with only scraps after her neighbors sifted through and stole her belongings while she was on vacation with her family.SLIDESHOW: Family's Belongings Thrown On Lawn
