=== Squatters and Foreclosures (02:24) ===

[00:00:00]  I'm Andrea Heisman, on the edge.
[00:00:17]  But a squatter had taken over the house and refused to leave.
[00:00:20]  The police were called.
[00:00:22]  But Lynn the squatter claimed the homeowner tried to run her over.
[00:00:25]  The homeowner went to jail and Lynn moved her stuff back in the house.
[00:00:29]  Now you're caught up.
[00:00:31]  After watching that clip, I began wondering how common squatting was.
[00:00:33]  This is technically a violation of probation, so...
[00:00:36]  Oh.
[00:00:37]  After watching that clip, I began wondering how common squatting was.
[00:00:42]  Turns out my investigation didn't even have to leave the city of Detroit.
[00:00:45]  Talk to us now?
[00:00:46]  No.
[00:00:47]  No?
[00:00:48]  Why not?
[00:00:49]  Well, why are you stopping then?
[00:00:50]  Don't even think about throwing that.
[00:00:51]  After the reporter helped expose the squatters, she was attacked and had racial obscenities
[00:00:57]  Why do people squat?
[00:00:59]  How do they manage to get away with it for so long?
[00:01:02]  The Law.TV reports, for adverse possession to work, squatters have to stay in a home for a minimum time period as mandated by the state.
[00:01:10]  This time frame varies widely by location.
[00:01:13]  During that time, many states require the trespasser to have paid property taxes.
[00:01:17]  Adverse possession was put on the books hundreds of years ago when the law primarily applied to farmland.
[00:01:23]  Property records were easily lost and damaged then, and adverse possession was a way to keep the land in productive use when it wasn't clear who owned or inherited the land.
[00:01:33]  So the origins of the practice began innocently enough, but the practice itself has been taken advantage of a great deal since then.
[00:01:40]  Only an owner can initiate eviction proceedings and the problem here, this house is a foreclosure property that gave the squatters a loophole to hang out and ultimately trash this place and for a time, terrorize the neighborhood.
[00:01:55]  Deputies went about it quickly and within moments, one tenant left with his bicycle, the other hopped on a skateboard and rolled away.
[00:02:02]  So if you're a property owner, some of the best investments you can make would be steady fencing and sturdy locks.

=== Be Prepared (01:02) ===

[00:02:11]  I want to know what's really happening with Ebola.
[00:02:24]  I want to know if there are things out there that could protect this country and protect my three children, just as you do.
[00:02:30]  Government can't and won't protect you from Ebola.
[00:02:33]  It is up to all of us to be prepared and to protect ourselves.
[00:02:37]  I'm not sitting back waiting for the government to come protect me and take care of me.
[00:02:42]  It's why I'm doing everything I can to boost my body's natural defenses.
[00:02:47]  That's why I've got storable foods.
[00:02:48]  That's why I've got my colloidal silver from Infowarslife.com, a silver bullet.
[00:02:52]  That's why I've got nascent iodine, X2, that has absolutely supercharged my personal body's defenses.
[00:03:01]  I personally have gotten prepared.
[00:03:04]  I recommend everybody else get prepared as well.
