squatters
I think I read on tigerdroppings about a squatter in Memphis that moved into a bank-owned mansion down the street from Fred Smith.

Investigators say Gentry took up residence in a vacant mansion at 600 S. Shady Grove Road in 2013, put a chain around the gate and even filed “transfer of inheritance” papers with the County Register’s Office giving notice of her “rightful claim” on the home.
I read a story about scammers who find empty homes for sale, download the photos and details, and list the property for rent online. They find the new "tenant" (who signs a fake lease) and collects first and last months rent on the property before disappearing.
As much as that screws over the 'tenants', it's an even bigger problem for the homeowner in some states if the tenant actually moves in.

I used to appraise property for right of way acquisitions and imminent domain. I have all sorts of stories and have met with squatters thinking they were the property owners on several occasions. I've seen living conditions you wouldn't believe.
I have one story that's actually pleasant that I'll share. I met a woman in rural Virginia at her house to do an on-site inspection for my report. She told me that she didn't care what the state paid her for the frontage they needed for their road because "all land really belongs to Jesus anyway." Big difference between that and being run off with a shotgun or attacked by dogs!
