While a Temecula family went on vacation last August, someone broke into their house, changed the locks, piled most of their belongings in the garage and made himself at home.
It was the previous owner.
Victor Cheng, 48, had been evicted along with his wife in 2010 after the house went into foreclosure. But within a few days of the Attas’ departure for their trip, Cheng had filed a fraudulent deed with the Riverside County recorder’s office laying claim to the property, a prosecutor told jurors in a Riverside courtroom Tuesday, Sept. 3.
Prosecutors said Cheng subscribes to “sovereign citizen” ideology and therefore believes the law does not apply to him and that he is the rightful owner of the Atta home.
