[Hallicrafters] Antenna Vandals Caught!

[David Harmon]

Duane, I think K2WH is correct and I think you are also correct in
saying that the most recent owner should know where their property line
is. In addition, that hamburger real estate agent that cut off your lock
on the shed may be in for a cut of the action on the possible sale of
the yard tractor as well as the fishy action on the roof of their house.
In fact the whole thing could be a scam that all of them are running on
you, meaning that the real estate agent cut the lock off the shed and
sold everything. The woman and her son are trying to blame the agent as
a way to let the agent slip out from underneath the whole thing because
the agent is related to the woman in some way or some personal
relationship is taking place.
I guess you can tell that I follow NYPD Blue.
I think more is going on that meets the eye, no pun intended.

Regards

Get a lawyer and sue everyone involved.  Let a judge sort it out.

This is going to read like a Ripley Believe It Or Not, so take two
aspirin and get a coffee, tea or softdrink.

When I sold my late parent's property in December 1998, I kept the back
360 feet of the 660 feet total depth. My property intersects that land
at a right angle. Hence, my lot is a 'L'. On this property was a 12X14
shed on a poured concrete slab. Beside it was a forty foot heavy duty TV
tower sunk in concrete and side mounted to the wooden shed. I owned the
land from the shed twenty feet to the west, after that it belonged to
the new owners. Never a problem. Duly registered and recorded with the
County.

They moved and sold the house. The new woman moved in last December.

The realtor told her she owned the land with the woods and the shed. He
gave her a key to the shed. (The prior owners never had a key to my
shed, so they could not possibly have given one to the realtor.)

On February 28, 2003 her 21 year old boyfriend pulled my antennas down
with his quadwheeler. I heard it happen, but you have to see it happen!
Now is that discrimination or what? I filed a police report, accusing
nobody. Because there were no suspects, a detective was never assigned.
Basically, it died right there.

Today a friend was out back cutting tree branches out of the woods to
put the new antennas up. The woman approached him and asked what he was
doing, so he told her. She was quite shocked to learn she did not own
the property!

She admitted to me that her boyfriend had ripped the 'cables' down with
his quadwheeler. They were preparing to pull down my tower next! They
had taken my Allis Chalmers yard tractor already from the shed, gotten
into the safe and so forth. I showed her the deed, title and property
description. Then I called the police.

The realtor cut my lock off the shed, replaced it and gave her a key. I
showed the police my keys, the battery for the yard tractor which was in
the utility room for the Winter and so forth. Now the police know me and
it was not long before an officer showed up here with photocopies of the
property descriptions, including the survey drawings when I divided the
land in 1998. I had already called the township office and got that
arranged. I also had the original realtor who sold the house for me here
with copies of the bank work, survey report and so forth. There was
absolutely no question that I owned the property and the shed!

Now ten days after they bought the house, they claim the backpart of the
roof fell in. So they already had a lawsuit going against the realtor
who sold them the house. This is especially strange, as I replaced the
roof in November 1998! There is no way it should have fallen in. The
people who sold the house I know, and are totally honest folks. They
knew who owned the shed and where the property line was. That was part
of the original deal when I sold them the property. As I said, they
never had a key to that shed.

The police told me that I could do nothing about what the new owners had
done, because the realtor had deceived them. Hence they thought it was
their property, thus there was no criminal intent on their part. I had
to sue the realtor for damages.

I told the police that a person is responsible to know their property
boundries, and it was not my problem if they could not read or
understand a deed, title or abstract. Which clearly showed it was not
their land or their shed. Made no difference. They still willfully or
accidentally, broke into my shed, took my personal property, destroyed
my antenna systems and violated the heck out of my privacy. Yet the
police could do nothing about it. It was not even considered as
trespassing, as they thought they owned the land! The people are not
liable to pay for any damages and my only recourse is to file a lawsit
against the realtor who allegedly deceived them.

As I was typing this, the original people I sold the house to called and
verified they never told the realtor the shed was on the property, they
even showed him where the stake was where the land ended. Even though I
had the property surveyed prior to selling it, the new owner did it
again to be sure the land ended at the right place, and it did. Twenty
feet due west of the shed where the tower is attached.

Another wonderful example of how one can be totally innocent and get the
royal shaft. Well, at least I now know for absolute certain who
destroyed my forty and eighty meter antenna systems. Not that it is
going to make any difference -
