    Absolutely ludicrous squatter rule

    Yet if you buy a suitcase from salvos and its full of cash and don't report it, you can be charged with "theft by finding"

    There was that other thread asking about property managers requesting proof of ID from owners, this is why proof of ID should be mandatory.

    At least the victims will probably be able to recover the properties. Imagine if she had started selling them.

    Crazy, surely this would have never worked as when she would have gone to do the formal adverse possession claim her shoddy tactics would have all come out of the woodwork? Surely no judge would have approved the claim?!

    This did happen a decade or so ago, which lead to changes in the real estate laws
