i would report it to the police immediately and file a report. next, whether or not you have an existing loan, contact the bank and let them know what happened and how you can prevent your home from being fraudulently sold. i would caution against going online and getting protection because it's hard to know which protection service is legitimate, so talking to the bank will be safer. your home information, your name, tax map key, even detailed loan information can be obtained by thieves. some information is public info, and the rest can be obtained on the dark web. also, try googling your address with the words "house for sale" and see if your home pops up as being listed. good luck. edited to add: found this on Quora: What legal action can I take if someone sells my home without informing me? scroll down a little to see the answer - one of the replies mentions checking the county register to see whether any deeds to your home have been transferred to someone else.

I recently moved to an apartment complex and am stunned at all the people who throw their Amazon/Chewy/Whatever boxes in the dumpster without removing the address labels.
Yup, I'm making a judgment. I judge that these people are clueless!

Yes! I always rip off mailing labels before I throw out boxes. |

My credit card was used at an AT&T store in Miami. Luckily I have all my alerts set up and was alerted immediately. I called and had it cancelled. What a pain…I spent way too much time last night switching all my auto pays over to another credit card.

For awhile, it seemed that one of my credit cards was constantly being compromised---one within a month of replacement. Yes it's a PITA. My old card was denied by someone trying to charge something in Brazil. For awhile I got alerts almost daily about the old card but not so much anymore. I guess the thieves have realized it's not an easy target.
