Squatting is getting out of hand on Southern California [View all]

After all the stories I have read it finally happened to a neighbor, she got a call that people were moving into the mobile home she rents. It had been vacant for less than two weeks while she did some repairs and painting to get it ready for the next tenant. Someone living nearby phoned her and told her people were moving in, she called the sheriff and they produced a fake lease so the deputies backed off and said it was a civil affair now. It is sad that she has to go through the whole eviction process to remove a bunch of criminals who forged a contract. Hopefully the authorities will bring charges over the forgery and these people are actually punished for their actions.
