There's usually a bargain to be found in foreclosure actions, especially when $18,000,000 is due: there should be plenty of room to negotiate,
/
The saga of the 8 Old Round Hill Lane foreclosure action seems to be drawing to an end, especially now that one of the defendants has filed a “Disclosure of No Defense”.
A cautionary note: the couple has, I believe, long-since been divorced or at least has been involved in lengthy, adversarial litigation*, and the wife, who has been enjoying sole possession of the premises, seems to have neglected to perform needed maintenance on the structure, so who knows what condition it’s in?
*- Police: Woman drove through garage door
Updated Jan 24, 2012 10:04 p.m.
Sheri G. Lampert, 54, of 21 Meadowcroft Road, was charged Monday with breach of peace and second-degree criminal mischief after she drove a vehicle through the garage door of a Doubling Road residence, police said.
Arriving officers observed a woman standing on the front steps of the residence, screaming at the door, police said. The vehicle had front-end damage, with pieces of wood sticking out of the hood, police said.
The garage door was also damaged, police said. Lampert admitted driving the vehicle through the door, according to police.
Lampert is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Stamford on Wednesday.

Shari Lampert (not the Sears Lamperts) has had quite of time of things since she and her now former husband Spencer razed Col. Bolling’s estate, “Greyledge”, at 133-137 Doubling Road back in 2007. Her latest bid at notoriety is reported today after being arrested for teeing off on her house keeper with a five iron back in June.
One June 29th, police received a complaint of a physical altercation between an employer and her housekeeper. Police say 56-year-old Shari Gay Lampert had a tumultuous argument with her housekeeper and demanded restitution for the alleged damage the housekeeper had done in Lampert’s home while employed there. During the argument, Lampert wielded a golf club toward the victim before entering the victim’s car to take the victim’s purse and remove all of her cash from it. An investigation determined that there was enough evidence to arrest Lampert for larceny and disorderly conduct, police said. Lampert turned herself into Greenwich police Friday on an arrest warrant and was charged. Lampert was released on $2,000 bond and will appear in court August 1st.
Ms. Lambert seems to have some anger issues – she was arrested in January, 2012 for driving her car through the garage doors of her husband Spencer’s new digs, again in May, 2012 for a “domestic dispute”, and, it appears, a few other times as well.
Like Dunellan Hall (Helmsley’s Folly) up on Rogue’s Hill, which has seen nothing but tragedy since it was constructed in 1918 , the Bolling estate’s streak started with the death during WW 1 of Colonel Bolling himself and now, it seems, extends to it’s latest owner. These days there’s nothing left of that estate, but the land remains and can be yours for $10 million (and my guess is for far less). The question is, who would risk the wrath of the Bollings?
