CLEVELAND (AP) - Folks on Humphrey Hill Drive were still waking up on the icy Saturday morning the shark hunters came to town. They rounded the suburban traffic circle in a pair of rented school buses after a half-hour ride from far more modest neighborhoods, rumbling to a stop at the Garmone family's driveway. Forty-two caffeinated Clevelanders piled out, their leaders carrying bullhorns.
Their quarry, Mike Garmone—a regional vice president at Countrywide Financial Corp., the nation's largest mortgage lender—didn't answer his door. So they deployed, ringing bells at the big homes with three- car garages, handing out accusatory fliers and lambasting Garmone and his company's loans. Before departing, they left their calling card—thousands of 2 1/2-inch plastic sharks—flung across Garmone's frozen flower beds, up into the gutters, littering the doorstep.

"During efforts to physically force your way into the office, one of the firm employees was actually bitten by an ESOP member," Countrywide's chief counsel, Sandor Samuels, wrote afterward. "We will not enter into relationships with organizations that desire to subject our employees, contractors and Chief Executive Officer to harassment."
