DC:
A Florida family famous for their extravagant Christmas displays were allegedly exposed as squatters after a seven-month-long investigation.
Mark and Kathy Hyatt, who decorated the house for 15 years as part of their “Hyatt Extreme Christmas,” did not lawfully pay for the property, according to the New York Post. The family allegedly lived in the residence illegally and received homestead exemptions they were not legally entitled to, according to the outlet. more
I hate squatters.
Florida – appropriate.
“Florida Man” teaches his family.
Where in Florida? The article doesn’t appear to say. I’ve gone through the article twice now as the reprehensible DailyCaller website always locks-up my device. Too many sites are like this; so much shit needing to be closed out just so you can wade through the remainder of trash to read the poorly written article that’s buried in links and ads. So tired of it.
Plantation, Florida from the link to the NYPost article. (Ted Nougat, agreed.)
So… In all this time, where was the legal owner? Look up “adverse possession”. The property might actually be the Hyatts at this point, unless they have done or said something stupid.
San Francisco has a huge squatters problem – all over the sidewalks.

Homestead exemption that they didn’t qualify for, not owning the house,seems pretty stupid to me.
@Ted – Plantation, FL. I clicked through to the original NY Post article:

I use AdBlock AND AdBlock Plus (Google Chrome) on all sites. I pay a few bucks to iotw because I love this site and want to support it, but the popup ads destroy my enjoyment and I refuse to put up with them. If a website says I have to disable the blocker I just leave.
Looks like they could have taken the money they spent on decorating and secured a place to live.
I use Kaspersky security software with an embedded ad blocker and Nord VPN with the Firefox browser, and I see zero ads or popups.

I don’t experience any issues with this site. It’s the best! There are several “conservative “ sites that I want to like but I now seldom visit due to the ridiculous layout, auto-running videos, pop-ups, the “click here to continue reading” features. They just all seem like click bait now.
For the most part I use a cheap 10″ Amazon Fire tablet… of which I have a few for dedicated tasks. This one I’m on now is dedicated to surfing. You can get re-furbs for about 80 bux. If anything bad happens (which happened to my wife’s) I just factory reset it and it’s back to Like New! They are plenty fast and convenient.
BTW – I hate Leeches, Locusts, Free Loaders, Dead Beetz and Bumz!
