I'm so tired of people

This is one of those stories where I'd love to know more details. Like how did he think he would actually be able to steal someone's HOUSE?

I know there are people and companies that will stalk abandon looking houses because i think they can legally claim them if no one does after 90 days. My mother owns my deceased grandmother's home and no one is currently living in there and my uncle who picks up the mail every week said some phony company put up a notice saying it was an abandon property (keep in mind it's completely renovated inside and she pays the taxes) and was trying to have someone to come change the locks. It's absurd how people can be vultures for the sake of $$$.

Omg that’s horrible!

shit, I wanna do that to the derelict houses at the end of the road at the beach. or the one right in front of ours, so nobody buys the plot and builds a three-story there.

This just seems so crazy to me, how does this even work? He just makes a fake paper saying he's the owner, changes the locks and then what?

There are states, mainly Western ones where the gold rush happened (this is a major cause for this idiotic law) where there is a law called Squatters' Rights, and if they live there they are extremely hard to remove. Harder even than a tenant who needs to be evicted. It's a pain in the ass to get rid of people who move in and refuse to leave.

I am so baffled whenever I hear stories like this! Is there anything redeeming this law, especially in modern times? Why hasn't it been repealed yet? It sounds absolutely awful. My country is a big mess, but this is something I can't even imagine happening.

To be honest California is a shit state at changing laws. We are great at being progressive and legalizing things like gay marriage and pot, but we suck at getting rid of laws that don't help in the long run. We are also a state that is so hell bent on helping all the underdogs that I think sometimes these laws stay because they help people like the homeless who might move into a truly abandoned building (we have so many in LA it's pitiful) that people abuse the law that could help someone and you end up with people just working the system. The law started when people would move to CA for the gold rush, set up camp on land and call it home and never leave, only for the owner to return and not be able to easily prove their land boundaries.
