Squatters/tresspassers?

[Dutchisaurus]

But it sounds like it would need some MAJOR pest control.

Bug bombs and bleach are cheap

Or it would give me an excuse to buy an XM flamethrower

ROAD TRIP!!!

Sounds good. Can bring the old Ford 7.3 dually, hook it up and move it out all before breakfast.

I am in the mood for some french toast.

The only time I've heard "squatters" mentioned was in cases involving abandoned dwellings in which people had taken up residence, but maybe that wasn't the correct use of the term either. I seem to recall though that it was difficult to get people to move out once they had established residence there. And I may be totally off base, but I was thinking it wasn't as simple as trespassing them after a certain amount of time had passed. I don't think that applies in Leadeye's situation at any rate.

I think you should build a dirt ramp next to it and see if you can jump the trailer with the dozer.

See, this guy can do it!

I once ramped a similar dozer over a small berm of material (less than 2 feet tall) of mud and dirt I was scraping off a gravel lot at a rental yard. Didn't truly get air but it hurt like a son of a ***** coming down.

Looks like it would snap pretty good when that much weight rocks down and the blade catches.

Still no update?

I live just down the road from Leadeye (so to speak). Hopefully, the sheriff helps this guy "see the light".

There's a guy in Ft. Wayne who has an old RV that needs moved. How about we drag it down to Leadeye's place, too?

Interested to see how this comes out. The gall of some people floors me.

I read through that link regarding squatters and I am amazed that someone can cause a landowner so much trouble with so little repercussions for the offender. I am surprised that it does not happen more often.

It does.

Why do adverse possession laws even exist? What's the intended outcome as it regards protecting people who are trying to act lawfully in a civil society?

Legal fees.

Legal fees.

I'm idealistic enough to believe that most of our laws, no matter how horrible they are now, were born from at least some modicum of reasonable thought. I utterly oppose and absolutely detest gun control laws, but I can at least understand some of the logic of how they got started even though I disagree with it. Writing a law where you can just have someone else's stuff if you hang out around it long enough just doesn't make any sense no matter how hard I spin it.

I can understand the inverse, such as someone abandons their crap on your property and after such a period of time it's yours to do with what you want.

adverse possession laws are not meant to be maliciously used to acquire legal title to land that you do not currently have title to. Instead they along with other unwritten property rights legal concepts (e.g. acquiescence) are meant to rectify an already existing problem.

read my post a few pages back. the Fraley case addresses why situations with squatters would likely fail in court (the tax payment issue).

Also, squatters may fail to meet the Control element as defined in Fraley (formerly known as Actual).

Who did you see that was pretty? The news gal? That's the only reason I watched the video. I was disappointed.

Ok, as I see it there several questions that need answered: 1. Where does he get his electricity from (legally)? 2. Where does his water come from? 3. Where does his waste go? 4. Does "his site" meet local planning and zoning requirements, ie. trailer on site, permanent residence in a travel trailer?

The Health department may be able to address issues with #3. Local power company may be able to address #1. Planning and Zoning office may help with #4. Pull assistance from any agency you can. Also ask your insurance company what liability you have with this person on your property.

Report it as an abandoned vehicle. It should be towed by the county to an impound lot.

On second thought a dozer or a back hoe would make quick work of it.
