BUTLER COUNTY, OH - A Ohio family is out in the cold after coming home from caring for a sick family member they found that the locks on their house had changed and all their property missing. Robert Carr has been going around filing “quiet title” documents after learning about people that are abandoning their homes. Carr has been doing this to over a dozen homes, even filing seven cases in one day.
Carr sends teams of people out to locate homes that are empty at the time and then has them go in and change the locks. “I have a team of people who go out and I say make sure the house is empty. If it’s empty, change the locks,” said Carr. “When you abandon a property, bam, walk away from it, ‘I ain’t never coming back. I don’t want nothing to do with it,’ right? Somebody can come in, ‘Oh, mine,’” Carr says.
FBI agents investigating the activity said they’ve heard of this before. Special Agent Kevin Cornelius said, “They’ll come together as groups to receive training, how to conduct some of these schemes from a financial standpoint, to understand what they consider the common law and how they can use that common law for their sovereign purposes. I’m not familiar (with) any cases where it’s held up in court. I think that it holds up the process of the court’s decision.”

I’d shoot the bastid.
This guy has done this to like a dozen people! Maybe he steals everything and then takes over the house! How is this possible in America! The courts and the system are to some degree on this f-ers side.
I don’t know about Ohio, but here in Texas it is commonly referred to as “burglary of a habitation” and punishable by 10 years in prison if you don’t get shot.
Why aren't these people automatically arrested when they appear in court? They are basically admitting they are thieves!
In Minnesota he would need to occupy it uninterrupted for 15 years to have a chance at it under the adverse possession laws. He would be trespassing, and he would be guilty of theft of the possessions therein, at a minimum.
There are those that believe that since all laws are unjust, they needn’t follow any of them, but of course they make up their own laws to suit themselves.
So if I and another person or to decide what I think is common law this has standing in a US court? That seems to be what this FBI guy is implying? A few people can now just be a community and a law unto itself? confused? Oh, those bees YT’s laws.
And how, exactly, do they "make sure the house is empty?" Do they steal all the possessions, and then, "Yep, it's empty!"? Criminal. Because the people in the article said they came back "to find all their possessions missing."
Sounds like what the leftists have done to America.

Clears up a lot.
If you find your locks changed and it is your house and you live there, you simply break in to your own house and change them back, after calling the cops of course, to report the vandalism.
It’s a sob story.
The home is being foreclosed on. These guys are not taking the home from the person that lives there. They are trying to take the home from the bank that is foreclosing and, in the process, effectively evicting the people.
It’s sleazy, but not as sleazy as it sounds.
How long was this family gone ???
In Oct I went to Europe for a month..
When I left my house was full of furniture, possessions, the electric amnd water and phone connected etc..
When I got back last week I could have found all my stuff stolen and the locks changed and someone else owning my house ???
Eh ???
what would have happened next if upon discovering I was dispossed, if I had broken a window, got inside, called a lock changer, and taken back my house ???
who would be the criminal ???
Bastard needs a new free (for him) home: Levenworth.
PS In Texas, if I find them in my home at night, I can legally kill them. Hope it happens to them.
12 gauge slugs should expedite eviction.
Some people need killing.
So what if you go to work in the morning and when you come home the locks are changed and the house is empty ?
Yes, it is.
And bill his family for the new carpet.
Yes it is.
