So much for an HOA homeowners expecting any help from the FBI. (sigh)
Appears President Bush is bound and determined to turn this country into just another hunk of land owned and operated by The New World Order.

The following report on the FBI resources explains why citizens are not getting the expected services and protection from organized crime.
Unfortunately, like most FBI agents who have been diverted to homeland security, an agent, who had promised to bring scamming by HOAs to the attention of the FBI, has also been reassigned.
The Bush Administration has been diverting FBI resources to preventing acts of terrorism against America and its citizens. This has impaired the ability of the FBI offices to do investigations of violent crime , white-collar crime and financial institution fraud.
Following are excerpts from a study on the FBI resources and the link to the complete report:
THE EXTERNAL EFFECTS OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION'S REPRIORITIZATION EFFORTS
U.S. Department of Justice
Office of the Inspector General
Audit Division
Audit Report 05-37
September 2005
---
For more than three years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been undergoing a broad transformation aimed at focusing the agency on terrorism and intelligence-related matters. In May 2002, in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11), the FBI established counterterrorism and counterintelligence as its top two investigative priorities. At the same time, the FBI Director formally transferred more than 500 agents from traditional criminal areas to terrorism-related programs.
These changes were designed to transform the FBI into a more proactive, intelligence-driven agency dedicated to preventing acts of terrorism against the United States and its citizens.
The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) previously reviewed the FBI's reprioritization efforts, focusing on the internal operational changes that occurred within the FBI between fiscal years (FYs) 2000 and 2003. In that audit we identified the specific types of offenses that the FBI was no longer investigating at pre-9/11 levels. We found that the FBI's investigative efforts in FY 2003 were generally consistent with its post-9/11 priorities and that the FBI was performing less work in certain traditional criminal investigative areas and more work in matters related to terrorism.
Traditional crime matters include narcotics trafficking, organized crime, violent crime, white-collar crime, and civil rights.
We determined that, through its reprioritization efforts, the FBI had formally reallocated 1,143 field agent positions away from investigating drugs, violent crime, white-collar crime, and other traditional crime and primarily placed these resources in terrorism-related programs.
Further, our review of agent utilization data revealed that the FBI had reduced the actual investigative work of field agents related to traditional crimes by more than 1,200 personnel, which is in addition to the formal reallocation of 1,143 field agent positions. According to senior FBI officials, these additional agents were diverted from criminal investigative areas to terrorism-related matters as needs arose.
Reductions in the number of FBI squads were not limited to drug-related matters, but also occurred within the areas of violent crime and white-collar crime.
For example, one FBI field office had three individual squads responsible for bank robberies, fugitives, and truck hijacking/cargo theft which, after 9/11, were combined into one squad with a resource level equivalent to only one of the original squads.
Additionally, another FBI field office had operated with at least four white-collar crime squads prior to 9/11, but at the time of our fieldwork in March 2005 the office had two such squads.
Some FBI officials we interviewed stated that the FBI's more limited presence in violent crime and white-collar crime had impaired the law enforcement community's efforts to address these crime areas, particularly financial institution fraud and bank robberies.
They added that state and local law enforcement agencies generally do not have the necessary resources or jurisdictional authority to effectively address many of these violations, and they commented that no other law enforcement agency has been able to compensate entirely for the FBI's reduced efforts in these areas.

Hello, agian from the Radcliffs.
The case is over, thank God! Yet the effects of this horrible case will linger for ever in the hearts of our family and our parents. I am ready to submit any information the FBI needs, NAMES that were involved in the selling and buying of many, not just the Radcliffs home.
Throughout this case, our family did extensive research on the partys involved. Now we are just normal people without the ability to put the pieces together, yet we still saw that there had to be a conection between the hired company , Coast Assesment ser. co., and the buyers wife. Who is MEI NA XU of Alameda,California. , and the owner of Coast Assesment Service Co., MAI HUYNH, of Garden Grove, California.. coincidence or not....
I think any information a victim of Association THEFT, can give to the FBI, is worth giving. They have the ability to put the pieces together. Now even if there is a conection here it won't make any difference to the Radcliff case..its over and what is done is done.
The effects of this case to our family is permanent, the pain and heart ache is eversible, and now my daughters grandma and grandpa plan to move out of California, because now having to pay a morgage on a house that was built debt free, is too expensive for them to continue paying.
But if any information I can give them can stop the same thing from happening to even one person it is worth it. I hope that there are people that think the same way, if the people don't submit information to the FBI, even if there are chances that your wrong , nothing will ever change.... do something because our Governor and elected official are NOT DOING ANYTHING.
Sincerely,
CAROLYN RADCLIFF

Does your HOA board KNOW that's a fact? If so, your HOA's members should probably have a little "shape up or we'll ship you out" talk with your board.

It seems that once the person is "born again" - they are reported to the membership via the board action taken against the member, so that they can be evicted, and soon follows the forclosure, or the reported DEMISE of the member whose HEIR's claim all the property and never repay the funds used to repair the BADLY damage unit....does this sound like how your know board and office work, please let me know.

Username Withheld,
My understanding is that this is a NEW FBI program.

"I saw the note that the San Francisco office of the FBI is requesting info. on HOAs and crime. The contact address is 235 Pine St. but there is no verification info. -- phone no. Is there a way to initiate preliminary contact so that shipped documentation gets to the appropriate destination?"
Nicolas,
My understanding is that the FBI homeowners association program originated in California but is now available throughout the country. And that we HOA homeowners should contact our own state's FBI to file our complaints.
Mine here in Colorado is called the "Colorado Federal Bureau of Investigation" (CBI) and we have two offices in my own area of Colorado -- one in Denver and one in Pueblo.
To the AHRC Staff: Could we homeowners get a clarification re the above from AHRC Staff, please?
