SEATTLE - A Seattle woman says she came home to find homeless squatters setting up a tent in her backyard.

The home is for sale. Lisa, the owner, who asked us not to identify her or the house so it would not interfere with her sale(snip)

When she came home Monday, she found that man and another one in her backyard setting up a tent and drinking out of the hose. She said they'd spread items out on the patio and the stairs too. She said they'd even brought religious statues to put on the steps.

Lisa says she screamed and told them they were trespassing and to leave. She said one man walked up to her and told her that she was the one trespassing, claiming he owns the house.

"The delusion is what scares me. You never know what somebody's capable of when they don't have rational thought," Lisa said.

Neighbors rushed over and scared the men off, Lisa called 911. While an officer was taking a report, the men came back. Lisa thinks they came to get their belongings.

"I feel completely violated," Lisa said. "I've spent my last seven years putting my hard work and money into this house and I feel fiercely protective. But at the same time, I don't want to threaten my own safety by protecting this property."

She says the men have been back five times. Lisa had a friend stay at the house las night and he was armed.

Lisa worries they’ll be back, "Who is to say it might not happen again?"(snip)

Seattle Police took the items from the backyard and are investigating the pair for trespassing and prowling, according to the police report. Officers have been called out to the house several times.

Embrace the SUCK Buttercup. This is what most voted for in these leftist hellholes. Delusion and lack of rational thought are core values of the leftist scum.

Really? Why are they not arresting the pair?

Lisa, you just might have to shoot ‘em.

In many turd world countries, you never leave a house unoccupied. Too risky and hard to get people out. Police demand payment to help and property titles are unreliable.

Left for a job in 2006, after 5 yrs there. Loved it and looked forward to moving back to the area — no more. I can’t believe the garbage they let happen there now.
