A judge who granted a couple part of their neighbors' property in an adverse-possession lawsuit has denied their request to add on a strip of land 9 inches wide.

Richard McLean and Edith Stevens, of Boulder, had asked for the full width of a disputed path on land purchased by their neighbors Don and Susie Kirlin.

In October, McLean and Stevens were awarded about a third of the Kirlins' lot, or more than 1,400 square feet...

A judge said last week he could only consider evidence presented at trial ...

9 inches eh?

“Since Dick McClean is an RTD board member”
Reminds me that RTD is trying to steal some land from a window tinting business at 13th and Wadsworth for something to do with the light rail line. For equipment storage for a year or so. After that, maybe it gets developed by a friend of the RTD for big money. The business owners get bupkis.
Peter Boyles of 630KHOW is all over it.

That song was (originally?) recorded by Bull Moose Jackson in the 1940’s. I had it on a 78 once.

[Red Badger]

You had a 10 inch?.......

[Slings and Arrows]

9 inches eh?

So Bill Clinton would have to *bleep* them three times?

[jazusamo]

Either way he’s still a thief, they’ll get their comeuppance one day, hopefully.

Good that Peter Boyles of 630KHOW is all over it.

There are many opportunities for Ritter to help out his friends with the expansions of RTD.

He has likely has po’ed all of his neighbors, his HOA Board and staff...his wife got dropped recently by the local DUmmie politician because of all the complaints : she was the treasurer ?

I’m puzzled too. Here we have a serious discussion of property rights, and you drag in some guy with a flowered shirt.

;-)

[Gondring]

I wonder if there’s a particular reason they want that 9 inches.

That's the question I always have, too.

[rlmorel]

Wow...someone had a a brilliant idea...NOT!

[moonman]

"democrat party lawyer/politicians simply and overtly stealing some desirable land"

Didn't Dingy Harry Reid get involved with something similar?

[Mmmike]

Ah, another day in the great paradise that is modern propositional, atheistic, legalistic society ... Not!

[george76]

Boulder District Judge Morris Sandstead, who served with McLean, issued the restraining order quite swiftly.

Serendipity, I guess.

[reagan_fanatic]

Oh, they’re talking about property. Whew

LOL - same here. Guess that shows where our minds are!

Are we talking "Special K?"

The Colorado newspapers are known for catchy headlines.

When Disney corporation decided to pass on a development project in a city near Vail, the headline was:

Disney Withdraws From Beaver
Resort Project

These black robed tyrants had better be careful. If you do this sort of thing to the wrong person, the results could be disastrous.....

Oh, the guy in the shirt’s a FReeper - maybe that’s why they posted that picture. You wouldn’t think he’d be an actor, would you? But he, ah, got the parts.
