Stealing furniture from abandoned houses
-
2023-09-13 at 3:56 PM UTCHas anyone tried this? I know I can't get any heavy furniture out by myself but there's a lot of abandoned cottages here with vintage items left to rot. I can't let that happen.

Me and some friends used to break in to them and drink and hook up with girls and stuff yeah. But I thought that was a thing where if you squat in a house for a few years and can prove you lived there, you can acquire the title. At least in this country. Is that a myth -

other than getting water and lights abandoned properties might also require lots of repairs to make them fit for living,
especially in soggy ireland. -
2023-09-13 at 4:11 PM UTCYeah you can squat and gain ownership but I wouldn't want to do that by myself. It would be way out in the countryside and need a lot of repairs and I don't want to put the years into maintaining a place when it could just be taken off me if the owner suddenly shows up and demands I leave. I already have a house and don't even want to live in N.I. It seems stupid to leave because it's a beautiful place but I grew up here so it isn't magical to me. I want to be an expat but the truth is my quality of living would probably be worse in another country and I'd have to deal with people staring at me.

2023-09-13 at 4:13 PM UTCWhy would they be staring at you do you have a hideous deformity or something? I don’t know the lore here

If you are nothing more than a lowly thief go ahead and be a stereotypical Irish Gypo. -

squatters Laws are being wiped from England I understand. and soon the USA. Most Squatters just move in and take care of the place who are gainfully employed but want to save money and see an opportunity.
but meth heads like you and scron usually get smashed face and trash the place and punch holes in the drywall and or decide this is a good place to spray paint some nonsensical filth.
this is why squatters rights are being taken out of the books. Drug users fucked it up for decent opportunist in a period of housing crisis. You and people like scron Fucked it up for others. -

I don’t know if they’re trying to take away squatter’s rights but if they are it’s absolutely not because they’re taking some kind of moral stand against lowlifes. It’s because properties are increasingly owned by institutional investors like Blackrock and other wealth management firms and they don’t want it cutting into their bottom line
