I bet you'll need more than a $10,000 lawyer to get out of it. That's basically what they told me when my seller stole the best chair in my new furnished villa the morning before the closing -- even though it was on the inventory and I had a picture of their realtor sitting in it the day I bought the place. Then they had a million reasons to keep me at the closing, while the sellers had enough time to beat me to the house and use their illegally-retained key to steal an end table and TV from the master bedroom. When I arrived, I found them in my new living room disconnecting the big TV, and I could see the other TV and end table in the back of their SUV. I called 911, reached the Sumter County Sheriff, who told me to take it up with my closing agent.
My guess is, you just bought yourself a house with water damage.
