Had a "really?!?!" moment last week...

Okay, so I had a closing last week on a really nice home near the James River. We were scheduled to close on Friday; we had our final walk through on Thursday evening to make sure everything was okay with the home and my clients were able to move in. Everything was perfect and my buyers closed Friday. They left to go to the house with their two kids to see their new home and found the previous owner and his contractor, wrench in hand, taking the built in, $3,000 water purifier system out of the wall in the garage. My poor buyer was caught in the middle of a tough situation but stepped up and said they could not take it. The previous owner wanted to clarify this with his wife and Realtor before he left the house, so he waited around for an hour before he received word that he could take apart the system since it was attached to the house. It was an awkward hour to say the least. I can't believe he thought he could take out a plumbing system like that!
