Police in Michigan say a startling discovery was made on the roof of a Michigan grocery store: A woman was living inside the store sign for roughly a year.
Nah, speaking from personal experience, I grew up in a sutuation where my family took care of a small adjacent strip of property we didn’t own for 20+ years. The true owner lived ~5 houses down and for 18+ years he didn’t know he owned it. —In that situation we could have claimed the property and the only reason we didn’t is the cost of surveying the property was greater than it’s perceived value. it was probably 20 ft wide and had a large storm drain running under the middle of it that came from a walmart parking lot a half-mile away.
fast-forward a few years and the people we sold the home to were moving out and the number of acres listed had been updated to include that strip of land.
almost like our property codes were written for an era that is more than a century gone
