A Whole Boatload of Crazy In My Neck Of The Woods

Interesting; she entered unlawfully and without effective consent, with the intent to deprive the lawful owner of property.  In Texas, that's called burglary, and it's one of the justifications for "force against the other when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to reenter the land or recover the property."  PC9.42 bumps up the possibility to deadly force under circumstances quite likely to apply when a looney is involved.

If some nut barricades themselves in your house and claims they now own it, what usually happens?

Same thing happened to us; she wouldn't leave after we paid for the property and it was legally recorded in our name.

My plan was to break in while she was gone sometime, hold her off at gunpoint, and hire one of those big semi-sized dumpsters to throw all of her stuff into. 

In the end, a few weeks and a few nasty lawyer letters and some hundreds of dollars later, she finally moved out somewhat peaceably.  I was there with the contract in hand (and armed!) to make sure the movers didn't load up any of the appliances that were supposed to stay in the house.  She did a bunch of damage before she left, and was actually going to take the doorknobs with her before we had a screaming match about it

  was she a renter, or did she knowingly sell the house?

She was psycho, apparently.  One personality sold the house and the other didn't.

But the personality that didn't sell the house seemed to be happy to have all the money

This you?

Might want to keep that sort of thing in PM-land or someplace less public.

Uhm, yeah. Some people don't mind their names and addresses made public, others do. Mellestad, if you're the former, that's fine. If the latter, let us know and we'll edit the thread.

I don't mind *my* contact info out there, I'm not shy about my username being by actual name, but listing my employer is bad.  I get enough spam, junk mail and sales calls as it is.

[Ben]

Edited.

Obviously a chaplain in Sumdood's army.

He boat set sail looooong ago and not all of her was aboard it.

Sorry, I just googled his name (listed in his user profile) and took the first link. Not exactly high tech sleuthing.

I'm not offended, it is just a bit of a faux pas to post a link to someone's work address on a public forum.  I'm sure you didn't mean anything hostile by it.

As long as I don't start getting Soldier of Fortune magazine and Ron Paul newsletters in my work mailbox, or letters contructed out of newsprint clippings calling me an America hating socialist troll anyway.

Too late.

Awe, man!  Now I'll have to sign up for welfare and use the check to buy another few dozen Obama (may he watch over me) bobble-head dolls to ward off the Randian anarchist joo-joo.

Now, if it were free magazine subscriptions, that'd be schweet.

A few years back I won an award at my company for tech honors.  Along with a piece of wood with my name and other information on it, I got a stipend to spend on tech pubs.  I thought about having SoF and The Advocate delivered to my work addy.  SoF for giggles and The Advocate because my employer is a diversity leader whore.  Couldn't hurt come promotion/raise time.

"Technical honors and gay?  Fabulous!"

I eventually settled for Linux Journal* & some forgettable operations research rag.


Threatening letters aren't what they used to be what with Ted "Buy Me A Vowel" Kzynski in CLub Fed.



* Was having a difficult time getting IT support.

Have you ever had a journal that actually sent you something worth reading?

All of mine seem like a waste of paper.  The only subscriptions I really like are online...my http://my.safaribooksonline.com/ and experts-exchange.com (not expertsexchange.com, because that is a whole different kind of site, haha).

Heck, between mediating the Mormon vs JW debates and cleaning the office with your new Kirby, I doubt you'll have time to read the junk mail.

[griz]

Many years ago a guy defended himself against a speeding ticket by explaining that a space alien forced him to go that fast.  Didn't work for him either.

We had a guy over here a couple of years ago who mowed down quite a lot of people with a car on a busy street. Apparently, the car was "radio controlled"

sorry to hear that. i've been saying "there's a lot of stupid anymore" a lot lately, but that's just ridiculous.
