Hank Hill is right. Theft is theft. People who take advantage of adverse possession don't give a crap if they're stealing from banks or from people who still own that house.

There's a couple in Colorado who left their house because the husband's job took him out of the the country. They still own the house, but some illegal couple took over the house with the help of some jackass lawyer and adverse possession laws. So they came back to a house they're still paying for but can't live in.

It's bullshit, regardless of who owns the house.

Things like this didn't present a problem for an officer. Officers had a tried and
