Minnesotan accidentally boarded up in foreclosed home

A disabled Minnesota man who lost his home to foreclosure was boarded up inside when he failed to leave on the designated day. Ted Poetsch, 53, had fallen behind on his mortgage and was ordered to leave. Poetsch says that on the day in question he was just putting his cat, Kitty, in a pet carrier when he heard the sound of workers’ drills as they boarded up the door. Poetsch eventually called 911 and was freed. “Everybody loses,” said his lawyer, Josh DuBois.
