There Are Great People All Around Us

Finding them seems to be the hardest thing. Sometimes if your lucky they somehow find you.

A New Orleans couple who's home has been in limbo since before Katrina from a ridiculously small and yet devastating tax bill was sold at auction, held hostage and now freed and then returned back to it's rightful owners thanks to a completely anonymous donor.
Home snatched over $1.63 has miraculous resolution:

WorldNetDaily: "A 'guardian angel' has paid off a disputed claim stemming from an unpaid $1.63 property tax bill, allowing a Louisiana couple to regain ownership of their home."

"I don't even know who to thank," Dolores Atwood told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "But I'm relieved and happy that this is finally over."

The couple's attorney, Gary Duplechain, told the newspaper Dolores and her husband, Kermit, again will own their home because of a businessman from St. Tammany Parish, who along with his partner volunteered to pay to settle the lawsuit that has clouded the home's title.

Dolores Atwood described their encounter with the Jamie Land Co. as "seven years of emotional hell."According to the paper, the saga began in 1996 when the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office mailed a $1.63 property tax bill for the Atwoods' home in Slidell, La., a suburb of New Orleans.

Though the couple had never moved, the bill was returned to the sheriff's office, because their official address had changed due to a postal system revision.

The Atwoods learned of the nightmare in 2000 when they discovered their four-bedroom, two-bath home – which they had owned mortgage-free since 1968 – had been sold behind their backs in 1997 through a tax sale for the $1.63 in unpaid taxes, plus 10 cents interest and $125 in costs associated with the sale.
