I'm not sure how but it isn't always what you would think. I'm guessing on some level they try to get credit? That in combination with other info makes it easier?

I heard recently there are thieves somehow getting access to house titles. They don't steal the house, they take a loan out against the house. True? I don't know but it seems dishonest people are always coming up with new ways to steal.
