Arrests made after $1.5-million Burbank home sells without the owner or buyer being aware

12. Crazy stuff!

I have a friend who's husband's family has owned property in Texas for years, maybe even generations. I don't know how many acres they own but they are currently having to get a lawyer to fight some guy that essentially just squatted on their land. They spend several months between CA and TX, so last year when they went back to TX, they find out some one has set up a car lot, all fenced in etc on part of their place. (the area is not on the property near where their house is) I don't know all of the details just that they are frustrated that someone had the nerve to do this and now they have to deal with the expense and legal system to get it all corrected.

I've read and heard plenty of stories of squatters moving into empty houses etc, but to actually set up a business is a new one to me!
