Childhood Home Bought By Someone

Have you gone through this? My dad died two years ago and we had to sell his house. I would have loved to have lived there but to be honest his house was too small and not in great condition. I was really hoping that whoever bought it would flip it and sell it to a family with children. I had such a great childhood there and the neighberhood was great. What happened instead was that this single douchbag type of guy bought it. He gave us ten thousand over asking price and it was the only offer we had so we took it. It was only after the fact that I realized who we'd sold it to. He has proceeded to ruin my dad's property and house. Trash everywhere. My dad had this beautiful rose garden surrounded by these awesome tall hedges. He tore that all out, it's just messed up ground now. My dad also had this really cool rock garden with a variety of different plants and flowers, he tore that all out too. He chopped down several of the beautiful pine trees that lined the property. My dad had a big pole barn that he was so proud of. This guy covered the front of it with street signs. He has piled junk on the big front porch my dad built. I have no idea what the inside looks like now but I'm guessing not good. I know there is nothing I can do about it but it breaks my heart. My dad would be rolling over in his grave to see it. I feel so bad that we weren't able to sell the place to someone who would appreciate it and turn it into something nice. This guy obviously doesn't care and is just a slob with no pride in his home. I looked him up on Facebook and he is a messed up individual, I don't even know how he had the money to buy the place as he apparently doesn't have a legit job so who knows where he is getting his money from. Again, I know there is nothing I can do but I wondered if anyone else has gone through this.

Uncle is hoarding family photographs and won't share.

Does anyone have a relative like this? My grandmother passed away and then my father did also. I had told my grandmother many times that the only thing I wanted was the family photographs. She was always asking us what we wanted when she passed away. I have done the family genealogy so to me it makes sense that I should get the photos. My plan was always to scan all the photos and distribute them to everyone in the family so they all got them. It seemed to me to be the only fair thing to do. Well my one uncle somehow got all or most of the photos. I did get a few from my dad but my uncle took most of them. When my grandma died I asked my dad to ask my uncle if he would at least share the photos with everyone else but he won't. Not only did he do this but he also took an old antique portrait of one of our ancestors that was in my dad's house. That portrait was always supposed to go to me. He had no right to take it out of my dad's house. He did it without my knowledge. I just think it's really spiteful that he is being this way. Anyone ever deal with this? What did you do?
