“It’s bizarre because I’ve heard of this. You might see it in movies,” the home owner, who didn’t want to be identified for personal reasons, explained.
The homeowner is lucky. In a lot of jurisdictions the cops and the DA won't do a damn thing about these criminal 'squatters'. They call it a "civil matter" and the property owner is on their own to fight it out in court....costing them even more money.

The first shadow profile of the homeowner shows he is sporting a hogleg on his hip. Prolly helped motivate the squatters before john law showed upJpaul
ReplyDeleteWe don't have squatters rights and you can't just claim ownership of other people's property... At the minimum it's a trespassing violation but in this case wilful destruction of others property will be added among other charges
