A Squatter in Paradise
Quick Summary
A townhome in the Texas hill country stood empty while the estate was in dispute. But vacant properties rarely remain that way. A squatter had pried an air conditioner out of the wall to gain entrance. A charcoal barbecue was set up on the back deck, and a mini fridge had an extension cord connected to a neighbor’s exterior outlet.
