Ahhh... I use Noscript and the result is when I scroll down about 20 lines there's blank space, so I stopped reading and figured it was the end of a very short article...

So the $197,000 was likely the appraised value, with the $71,000 the actual sale value when the predators unloaded it.

But it sounds from the article like the original owner does lose everything, which I hope is so ridiculous as to be untrue, but I can't tell...

EDIT: I wonder if I got downvoted for using Noscript, or what...
