Woo Hoo they are gone for now. I finally recieved a call from the citizens patrol. They started dropping by and the squatters left!
Now it looks like the property owner put a large pipe and rocks across and secured his fence so that it would be difficult to access the property again.
My neighbors started up the complaint calls also and that got more action than my hubby and I alone.
Sometimes it takes a whole lotta noise.

Except in this case, he doesn't have the army slaughter the original landowner for him, he at least has the cajones to move onto the property and take the heat himself. Obviously the landowner isn't using the land, so someone else is.

Let the flaming begin!

Native Americans aren't native to the americas either. Do some research and you'll see.

I am so glad that they are gone for now! A woman from the citizens patrol was far more responsive than the sheriff dept. they increased the patrol of our area and promised that they would "check on them" 3 times a day. I wonder if that is what got to them.
She did tell me that because my neighbors did not report crimes that happened to them having a neighborhood watch probably would'nt fly,however I think we should at least try it. Anyone can call the citizens patrol and ask for more help. I guess the sheriff dept. is spread thin up here.Captain Hernandez did tell us that they have funding for 3 new deputies.
Thanks for your support and encouragement. It is different than other states and being more in the country. I really appreciate all of the responses.
Jodi
