- I don't think so. Or if they do, they get it out. As I see it, you take
- a mortgage out on your house, not the contents.

- I think the repossession is the end of it. The "loan balance", ideally
- for the bank, is less than the value of the home. (Remember, that you
- "strip off" the interest when you figure it out, because it's just like
- paying the balance off at the present time.) Anyway, this is the reason
- that we have the S&L crisis. People found that their mortgages costed more
- than their houses, so they didn't feel that paying their mortgage would
- be benificial, so they let the bank repossess it.
