Wells Fargo mistakenly foreclosed on a home that had no mortgage, sending in a crew to steal all and throw out all the elderly homeowners' belongings. Alvin Tjosaas helped his father build the family home in Twentynine Palms, CA when he was a teenager, and the couple raised their own children there. The Wells Fargo crew destroyed their entire lives' accumulation of personal possessions. Wells Fargo says it is "deeply sorry" and that it is "moving quickly to reach out to the family to resolve this unfortunate situation in an attempt to right this wrong."

Alvin, a retired mason, built the home with his father when he was a teenager.

"I know every inch, every rock…my mom mixed all the cement by hand," he said…

"My little kids (would) come out here and their dresses were the same color as the wildflowers," said Alvin…

"When you put your heart into something…it makes me real sad. I'm just glad I have my sweetheart. We've been together a long time," said Alvin.
