When is deed theft not actually deed theft? It depends says AG Tish James

Riddle of the day: When is deed theft not actually deed theft?

Answer: When state Attorney General Tish James tries to have it both ways.

That’s what happened Friday when the AG was asked about fellow lefty Brooklyn Councilman Chi Ossé’s arrest.

Ossé was cuffed Wednesday as he tried to prevent an eviction he claimed stemmed from “deed theft.”

At the time, James’ office issued a statement denying the case involved any such thing.

It said the matter involved a property dispute between heirs and relatives of the home’s former co-owners.
