I haven't been able to access the entire article so I don't have all the facts, BUT. . . I see this sort of thing here in California often. Homeowner has property on the beach, river, or some other sort of vacant land. They think that since the land is "not being used" they can build a "barbecue, restroom, shower, canopy, cabinets and concrete picnic tables," etc ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S LAND(!), usually the State's or some other local government's land. If the McNamees have in fact built this stuff on the State's beach, they are stealing just the same as if they built it on their next door neighbor's property!

The improvements were built on their own property.
