Actually there was no analogy. I merely stated that we see scum like this in the cases I described. This guy is a tax-sale scavenger just as the others are. Buzzards like this guy are a dime a dozen seeking ways to legally steal property.

He may find that he doesn't own the lake either since it is, by law, part of the "waters of the United States" and therefore subject to the wetlands regulations. Which his neighbors may educate him about if they get a smart lawyer.

I thought your beloved government was here to prevent people from stealing? In this case, they were the sellers. I guess that makes them the thieves huh? LOL

Is it possible to own a water filled area? A lake or a pond?

Blame the gov't first for that: they took someone's property for non-payment of "protection money" (aka "taxes"). This guy just did what none of the other homeowners bothered to do: buy the property, either from the prior owner or from the gov't. He didn't steal the property, the gov't did.

He may not own the water space, but he does own the 10-20 foot strip around it.
