I’ve read the first 20 replies and see no mention of the camera. That was the trigger to the total eviction, it seems. Once a story is out there on the social media, it can get picked up by others and can ruin a business. Of course now they could be ruined anyway, but I’m just saying: that upped the ante.
At the same time, if this turns out to be planned, or a hoax.. we can have FReepers in the area to let us know, and it can turn out like ChikFilee ;)
