LATHROP, CA - Usually you can spot the foreclosure homes through abandoned yards and newspapers in the driveway. One home in Lathrop is identifiable by its missing garage door.

It’s in the Mossdale Landing development west of Interstate 5. The developer, Pacific Mountain Homes, has gone into foreclosure for the 66-home project.

What used to be one of the model homes is anything but inviting now. The garage door has been torn from the foundation, as has a regular door leading from the garage to the side yard. Thieves were so thorough, they even gouged a large piece of metal from an exterior wall of the home.

The 66 homes will be up for auction at the courthouse in Stockton later this month.
