N.B. There's going to be a lot of news today. [I can feel it.] Try to keep treads compartmentalized. Casey here until it gets full, sub-prime meltdown NEW HSBC etc. in "About F***ing Time," and everybody can hold their breath for everythingelse. Thanks.
On to our intrepid Neg-Hero. Sure, the latest post was a lame troll. He's reduced to emphasising whatever got the most replies last time. Thus the "my property" angle. Nothing to see there, move along.
So, who thinks this latest will end badly? Who thinks it will just "go away" unresolved like all the others? [raises hand]

Fade away with no resolution.
One thing that bothers me about the photo is that the vehicle doesn't fit my image of what a homeless person lives in. The car is too new, too clean and too upscale. I've known a few people who lived in their cars. You could barely see through the windows because their stuff was piled up pretty high.
Consequently, I side with the posters who say that it is a ruse put together by Casey Pangloss. Alternatively, it is one of the haters who has figured out that Casey's houses are cheap to occupy. If so, I ask this person to please post when you will host a hater's party at the house. BYOJJ.
I think it'll fizzle out like a damp firecracker.

What is not surprising is that Casey can't seem to get him arrested for trespassing or anything. What a maroon....
It's probably going to fade away with no resolution. That's especially likely if the guy's actually occupied the house. I'm not sure how CA's laws are when it comes to squatting, but in many areas he'd have to evict the guy just as if he were a rent-paying tenant. If that's the case, he'll almost certainly just let the house foreclose and wash his hands of it.
Really, any of Casey's properties would make an ideal squat. The power is on, nobody's coming by to look at the place, and the owner is too lazy to evict legally and too passive to do it by force.
The smart move would've been to call the postal inspector's office. Going through somebody else's mailbox probably carries nastier penalties than parking in somebody else's driveway.
Hmm. Looking at the comments on IAFF, it looks like the Boy Blunder has given up on maintaining a positive tone:
That is not “your” house. You stole that house from a bank that you defrauded.
Rob Dawg,
The photo up top isn't working. I get a 403 Forbidden when I try to click on it.
It is very difficult for me not to go to IAFF and give Casey a hard time about this squatter.
I must resist the urge.
I truly adore the audacity of the fellow, putting a lock on the gate. LOL LOL.
@ Northern Renter:
First of all, his stuff might very well be in the house. As for the car itself, it looks like a Dodge Intrepid or Eagle Vision, which are worth next to nothing used. Casey probably could've bought two of them with what he paid for Vdubs.
The image is credited to:

Seemed cool and there were no restrictions for me. I try to make sure images are allowed and referenced. Thanks for the heads up.
As to squatting; Casey's house, Casey's fence... get a freakin' lock on it. The guy tries to mess with it and you've got him vandalizing. The police do come out for that.
Dear Casey,
I'm the undeclared resident on your burdett property. I'd like to address a couple of issues with you about this situation.
You are a terrible landlord. Your neglect of the property has forced me to donate my time and effort to clean it up, and tidy the garden and grass. It was a lot of work, and I'd expect some sort of compensation for it--such as peace and quiet.
I've also got an issue with the neighbour using the driveway to store his boat; it is restricting the space for my own vehicle, and affecting the curb-appeal of my home. Please see to it that it is removed immediately.
I'd also like to discuss the disturbances you've been inflicting on me, forcing me to move my car. In response to this, I've added a security lock on the gate, and I hope you realize that this is within my rights as a squatter.
I will continue to park where I please, and I ask that you keep the showings of the house to a minimum as it is an infringement of my privacy.
Thank you,
Squatter Bob.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Interesting.
Like I mentioned on the other thread - the property is NOW on MLS and ready for showing? What has he been doing for the last 8 months???
Ogg
Well, I don't know my cars so thanks for the info. It still looks a lot better than the ones in which I've seen people living. I agree that he must be living in the house; if he had previously lived there then he probably still has a key or knows an easy entry route.
Stephanie
Calm down. Don't call him. He's not worth it. I know, you've invested some of the best minutes of your life in him, but there comes a time in any relationship where you have to stand back and think. Yes, I know all about physical attraction and how you can't keep your boot from being irresitibly drawn to his head. But you'll have to control this.
NR
It's not like listing a property on MLS is the most difficult thing to do... especially with his crack team of RE agents.
I don't understand someone with this level of complacency. He does nothing, and cries that his properties are not selling.
Boo hoo.
If I were that homeless dude, I'd move in. He probably has free utilities and cable also (bills in the mail box). I wish I could get a hold of that guy. I'd call him up and tell him I'll send him $50 if he takes a huge dump in the middle of the living room.
Can someone get by the house and interview that guy?
I envision Galina's blog in a few years:
iamfacingobesity.com
1) I eat all day, and all of it is high fat, high carb, and loaded with sugar
2) I hate to exercise
3) I bought a copy of the South Beach Diet, there are a lot of good ideas in there I should really pay attention to
4) I can't understand why I haven't lost weight yet
5) I am blessed and I will definitely lose weight
6) I am looking for a sponsor to help me lose weight
7) I just ate one dozen Krispy Kremes!
8) I think gastric bypass might be a good idea
9) ooooh supreme pizza
10) I'm really just big boned
Hmm, I tried posting this a few minutes ago, but it looks like it didn't "take". Let's try this again...
I e-mailed Casey a couple of weeks ago with an offer to help moderate his comments. He just now e-mailed me back, and thought I'd share.

this is BULLSH*T. his timeline is off. A month ago he was cowering in the corner after new years. He hasn't been over to check that property in a LONG time. second check out the picture with the car behind the gate. I don't see any lock. Casey made up this story plain and simple for some trollbait. I can't believe he spends all his time blogging, cleaning up posts he doesn't like and NOT doing anything to get out of his situation. Maybe he is enjoying what little 'good' life he has left.
@Northern Renter
I know. You're right. You're right.
I appreciate your wisdom.
Hey Craven, I bet that dude moved in a long time ago. Hasn't it been cold as hell in that area?? How about paying someone to keep their pony locked up in the house for a week or two (with food and water, of course!!) - imagine Casey and Galina with their pooper scoopers going to town!
That gate is so ghetto. Why would you have a gate on your driveway?
@Jade
Dammit - I am sick and tired of spewing on my monitor. Iamfacingobesity.com is a classic.
Casey's new website:
Iamfacinglargecocksinmyass.com
@Stephanie
I thought the same thing - 8 months to list the property on the MLS? WTF?? How can I get a team that damn good?
@ Jade:
That gate is so ghetto. Why would you have a gate on your driveway?
Well, if you put a lock on the gate, you can stop squatters from parking in your driveway.
I'd call him up and tell him I'll send him $50 if he takes a huge dump in the middle of the living room.
What? And risk raising the property value?
My question is how long has Squatter Bob been occupying this residence? Casey seems only marginally aware of the extent of it; did he inspect the interior of the house? Was there a foam mattress on the floor, meth paraphernalia in the bathroom and top ramen in the cupboard?
You probably *could* house a horse or two in the house for months before anyone took notice. Some RE Agent he's got there.. on the ground.
Ideas for our little buddy and his new tenant:
1. Put the new tenant on the payroll and have the guy "bird dogging" for some sweet deals.
2. Have the guy open all mail coming to the property and notify Casey if it is something important.
3. Fire the RE agent - he can now have someone who is already on site show the property... change the signs on the property to read "see homeless due in blue vehicle for showings."
4. Find out homeless dude's credit score, have homeless dude buy the property with cash back at closing that becomes a win-win split between him and Casey. That's a SWEET deal.
5. Put up "Beware of homeless dude" signs to keep squaters and others off the property.... Who needs a guard dog when you've got homeless dude?
6. Have homeless dude moderate blog.
7. Offer homeless dude his own blog (i.e., isquatoncaseysproperty.com) and get sponsors for the new blog so homeless dude can pay rent
There are many ways this can be a great "forward falling" opportunity for our little buddy.
Other option - "homeless dude" is actually from the mortgage holder and is monitoring the property so Casey can't burn it down or damage it in anyway.
It's hard not to have sympathy for the homeless man.
Casey should stop harrassing him. It's not like the house is his in any case.
It will all be up to the bank eventually I suppose. (He's never selling that house).
I'll donate $50 to the cause of the squatter. Can anyone go by the area and talk to the guy to educate the man of his rights as a squatter? Hell I'll send the guy $20/week as long as he squats there and doesn't leave. Makes great entertainment. As far as I'm concerned. That guy mowing the lawn and doing the gardening work has done a lot more to that property than CS has.
Why isn't anyone interested in warning the homeless dude of the dangers of getting associated with Casey. There are worse things than homelessness.
Homeless Dude: "Man, life sucks. I ain't got no house."
Casey: "Could be worse, I got 6."
Homeless Dude: "You poor bastard."
And he is mowing the lawn. Which is more work than casey has ever done.
@Anon 9:17
LOL! That's a brilliant plan!
If we could get a web cam set up at the house....man...that would be the first time I paid for something like that that wasn't porn.
Yeah, it's amazing that a guy squatting on the property is more concerned about curb appeal than the so-called owner is.
I'm now convinced that Casey is for real. No way someone makes up a story that includes a homeless guy mowing the yard. That's one gold nugget.
I've never seen a homeless guy with a lawn mower.
um, where did homeless bob get the lawnmower? Is it stowed in the back of his sweet ride?
Also, wasn't one of casey's houses "uninhabitable", as in casey had the bathroom gutted but ran out of $$$ before the work got finished.
Maybe homeless bob mows lawns for a living in his "other life".
ISTR that on one of his houses the neighbour was mowing the lawn for him:
http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/82/facing-foreclosure-video-1/#comment-5686
was that Burdett? I don't have the patience or stamina to sit though the video again...
My money is on the city having come out and mowed it for hi. There's probably a big hunkin' landscaping bill in the pile of unopened mail.
Oh, and:
Then about a month ago I saw the homeless dude there and talked to him. He said he is there to check for the mail since he doesn’t have a forwarding address. He told me he used to live in the house back when I had it leased out last year. I never met him before and he wasn’t listed on the application so apparently he was living in the house last year without my permission.
But la-la-la, no, he's not squatting in the house now; no siree-bob no; he's living in his car. Yep, that's the ticket.
Seems a rather enterprising and motivated homeless person. I don't know of many folks living out of a car who'd care about the lawn. Unless he's trying to make the house appear occupied to justify the presence of the vehicle. But the boat certainly does the job.
Aside:
I really have a problem with people who have toys they don't have room to store on their own property, and start imposing it on others. It's not that I feel any sympathy for Casey and his freeloading neighbour, but what the hell..? If you don't have room, then don't buy it, or pay for space. GOD.
So boat storage is about $24.00 per foot, per month-- how big does that boat look?
If I were Casey, I'd be sending the neighbor a little bill.
Steph, et al: resist the urge to flame Casey at IAFF.
What a blatant troll! He's desperate now.
Pfffffffttttt...
This story kills me. But everyone's comments are even better. I keep picturing Jeff Bridges in his Big Lebowski role as the Homeless Dude, chilling around his pad. "Hey man, that sh*tty car really ties the place together..."
I had to peek on IAFF. This can't be true right, even for Cali? Since when would a squatter put up, let alone cement in a gate! And cut the grass? Semi-comedic troll bait at best.
Just a horrible thought... but considering all the things that don't make sense about this:
1) Too nice of a car to be "living in"
2) Homeless folks don't pack lawnmowers. Or maintain property. They want to be as low-profile, 'under-the-radar' as possible.
3) No lock on the 'locked' gate.
4) Casey making special mention a month ago of "I think this guy is living in the car."
My guess is that Casey is setting the stage - via his blog - for a mysterious insurance fire.
My guess is that all of this lame post about how he tried to call the cops, the towing company, his roadside assistance... all so he has 'proof' that somebody was squatting there, and that it was ABSOLUTELY NOT HIS FAULT when he sets torch to it in the near future.
Just my take on all of this latest BS.
This will fade away with no resolution - come one people, Casery is an important man - he doesn't have time to deal with menial tasks like dealing with homeless dudes.
Straight from our hero -
"I have been ignoring the problem for a while because I was too busy to deal with it."
Plus getting a good power nap in every day is far more important.
@Badjer Jim
But don't you have to be *paying* the premium in order to receive any benefits?
He hasn't paid anything towards the mortgage--hence nothing towards the insurance. Just a thought.
Hey Casey,
If any of those properties burn down you can bet my badass will be fishtailing down the highway in hot pursuit of your scummy ass. And my van is big enough to hold Ogg, Homey, Rob Dawg, Stephanie, Dolph, Jade and all the trailer park boys.
BYOP! (bring your own pitchfork)
I'm with you, Mel, but I've got my own wheels. Off-road ones to be specific. With lots of clearance to drive over human-speedbumps.
Is anyone else getting spammed from Casey? I know Homey said he was selling the IP's - now I am bombarded with porno emails. Man, that's what I get for trying to play with the big boys. Sigh.
If it's true tho, I would love to sue the little prick - it is beyond annoying.
If any of Casey's houses burn down I will fly out to sunny CA and WHOOP HIS @SS.
Not only will I get out of sub-zero weather here in the midwest but I'll get to meet all the regulars as I'm sure there will be a large crowd ready to beat him downs!
I'd be up for the frankenstein-style crazed mob--complete with pitchforks and clubs.
>isquatoncaseysproperty.com
Too bad isqatoncaseyslendersproperty.com was already taken. I think Countrywide is paying the hosting bill.
Stephanie J, Mel, Gameover, Badjer
He just "happened" to open a letter from Franklin dated 12/17/2006 yesterday or the day before informing him that they had placed insurance on Burdett because he let the policy lapse.
He just "happened" to notice a "homeless" guy, squatter, former tenant, etc. "about a month ago".
I'm with Badjer Jim on this one. In Casey's twisted little criminal mind he's thinking, "Hey there's insurance on the place now. I'll just strip it down of anything I can sell and burn it, Franklin gets their money from insurance and I'm no longer in default." Cue the "mysterious" homeless guy who mows the lawn.
Also, like I said on Caseyland, who wants to bet that boat is Casey's or one of Casey's relatives? Why would a "neighbor" leave their boat parked at a house where "mysterious" homeless guys are wandering around, parking by your boat, "mowing the lawn" and such? What if they just up and stole that boat too?
Too contrived for me. I'll fly out from Colorado just to watch you all kick his butt and then we will party.
My weapon of choice:
POINT OF VIEW GUN
The Point of View Gun is a very unusual weapon—put simply, when you fire the gun at someone, they instantly see things from your point of view. It was invented by a group of housewives who had become utterly sick of ending every domestic argument with the words “you just don’t get it, do you?” The gun was immediately in huge demand by marketing agencies, governments and religions, but was deemed to be too dangerous in the wrong hands and so was locked away in a secret location to prevent it from ever being used again.

@ Heidi
I have to agree. Not only is it shady enough that our FFF would give it a shot(so much for avoiding the grey area), but he is clueless enough to think that he would be pulling one over on everyone.
Too bad he doesn't realize we are all way more perceptive. Give anyone of us regulars a 45 minute lunch with the local DA and not only could we get them to prosecute, the DA would start posting here on EN!
Casey is, was and always will be a moron. I'd just hate to see even more resources wasted on him.
Of course it would be fun to meet all of you fellow haters! Maybe I'll mail him a box of matches...
PS Heidi, I know you're good for at least one good backhanded slap during the BYOP festivities!
Heidi 10:51
That was my thought too - the "homeless guy" shows up at IAFF right after Casey figures out that the banks will insure the houses, so they get paid if they burn down, and Casey thinks he is therefore off the hook.
I just hope he realizes that unlike the discussion of whether the FBI will go after him or not, there is no question what arson investigators will do - they are professional, relentless, and can glean an amazing amount of information from a fire scene. The DA doesn't tend to plea-bargain arson either - Casey is looking at years and years in state prison if he tries it.
I don't buy Casey's "I need to open the mail" troll. He's at least looking through it to pull out the wife's credit card bills....supposedly they're current.
@ mel:
Ogg no need pitchfork. Ogg bring own club.
@ Stephanie J:
Why you want clear human speed bump?
How exactly would this "saved by fire" scenario work? Insurance pay-out to the lender erases his loan responsibilities? Or does he get the money himself? And would it be current FMV, which has to be less than he paid when he bought it, right?
And I'm curious as to how many such fires happen regularly without investigation by local authorities. I'm not particularly hopeful that it would be investigated in this case, if it did happen. How much influence could bloggers and/or concerned citizens have in persuading the DA, police, etc?
@ mel:
Come to think of it, I have seen an increase in spam in the last couple of days.
@ Ogg
Would *you* want to be picking bits and pieces of Casey from the undercarriage of your Jeep?
I sure as heck don't. Ew.
Has anyone DMV'd the plates on the car or boat trailer?
"Casey is looking at years and years in state prison if he tries it," it being arson. Wouldn't that be years and years of 'federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison' given our intrepid hero's age, looks, and physique?
My girlfriend of 20 years lives 5 miles from that house. So at my request, she did a drive by for me this morning.
The car is not anywhere on the block. The boat is still there. There is no lock on the gate. It is sitting open.
She took pics with her phone, and will be emailing those to me. I will post them as soon as I get home from work tonight. The boat has a current CA plate and she has a pic of it as well. She was going to try to get a clear one on the license plate of the car, but it is nowhere to be found.
She also took pics of the lawn which she says looks like it may have been mowed 10 to 12 days ago.
She said she will drive back by on her way home tonight to see if the car has returned. Reports to follow.

Ewwww, the very idea of having to wash bits of punkass off the undercarriage is sickening. Better to have clearance. What if the cats accidentally licked it? Would they get lazier?
You guys are definitely on to something. Casey burning down the place is almost a definite.
Cheers,
Man on the Grass Knoll
Fascinating, Captain.
You are right, Casey may be trolling. We've seen that car before, and it doesn't look lived-in from the photos.
But who cut the grass? Maybe it was the neighbor, but it wasn't Sercasey.
Another possibility is that Squatter Bob isn't homeless. I am wondering whether he is running a lab or something, doesn't want to do it out of his own trailer.
So "Bob" finds out (perhaps because he noticed Casey's frantic "for sale" ads) that Burdett is basically abandoned. Bob sets up shop there, and does things like put up a lock and mow the grass to make the place look occupied.
While locking the gates may be relevant to a future adverse possession claim, it may also mean that Bob is trying to keep
people (home shoppers, neighbors, Sercasey) away from his operations.
Finding out about that car may be key. Someone needs to run the plates.
The other thing I am wondering is whether Casey went into the place at all after he "discovered" that Bob had moved in.

Ok I think the plate on the car is 4TB1220 CA from the pic I can see. (The "1" is the only suspect digit, but I think that is what it is after blowing it up) I found a site that for $39.95 I can get the info on that plate and on the boat. Can anyone get this info for free? If not, I would be more than willing to pay it and get us the info. It would be worth it for the entertainment value alone. Unlike our little hero, I actually THINK about something before I go and CHARGE IT. For the $39.95, I could give up my once a month Jamba Juice plus overdraft. :)
Please advise.

Rob. Can we have a designated "tip jar" for this type of stuff. I think there is a decent sized group of folks that would throw in for running plates, web cams, paying the homeless guy to trash the place, etc.?

Good work on by you on your friend.
Casey probably just had his loser friend "rich Dad's Son" park his car there for the photo op.

Thanks to the poster. Tip jars will go up, you'll have to trust me that it will go to a good place, will pics of the receipts be good enough?
Count me in for the tip jar as well.
Guys,
FAR be it for me to stick up for the little pecker, but be careful with this tag stuff.
In order for you to run a license plate/vin check, it has to be in accordance with DPPA:

Now, any one of the lenders, or insurance companies that the slug owes money to can run any kind of background check on him, but the general public is limited. ( unless someone knows a buddy in law enforcement- wink, wink ) ;)
i trust you rob, looking forward to the tip jar. wow, a fund to pay for some private eye-like services... this is going to be gold.
i reckon if you're going to do it though, there should be a statement of what the tip jar will be used for. ie. 'we are going to use $39 for a plate check, who's in?' and people interested tip the jar with the paypal topic as 'plate check' - then it gets done and you post the findings to the public.. just my 2cents.
...updaate...haters have set up a tip jar for me...God bless!...was early riser today...rewarded myself with wheat grass shot...got call about trash at Muncy...oh well....Galina still out all night--she is really studying hard!...check mail....yep, still unopened....may need to buy a new letter opener...MUST GET ORGANIZED!...it's all good...lady from Fox called and said they want me for "American Idle"...she says it's a new show...thought "American Idle" was already a show?...Galina's favorite...nap...tried to call producer...can I sing on this new show?...must sign up for You Can Become a Singer.com education....uncles afraid I will sing...what's that mean?...haters all around....meeting with Savvy Chris to discuss new sweet deals....got Homeless Bob to mow grass at Larchmont, too....he says he knows a bankruptcy lawyer, only want $10 an hour....is this a sweet deal, or what?
I will pitch in 5 bucks here an there for some entertainment. I hope you will take paypal, as I have soem ":free" funds on it from selling some boots on ebay.LOL. He is trolling trolling, adn I have faith all of you can figure it out. I am an "idea' person like Ser headcase, I want to have people to do this for me. But I am willing to contribute. Hey we may be the next big story..internet community busts Casey Serin, and figures out he is a FRAUD! Go Guys. Post a tip Jar. Signed, I love my dog.

Count me in for at least $5. Maybe I'll cut out the JJw/WS for a few days and tip an action Jacskson!
The only reason a squatter would mow someone's lawn would be if they were high on meth.
I wonder if he mowed it @ like 2 am...cause that would be a good indicator.
From IAFF comments:
And that’s a fairly late-model car for a homeless guy to be driving, isn’t it?
Are it’s tags all current?
Tell us more about the guy…was he well-dressed? clean-cut? well-spoken?
Was he sober?
Y’know what Casey? You might have just gotten face-time with an investigator for one of he many institutions and agencies that you admitted to defrauding.
Homeless people will crap on your lawn…not maintain it, see?
I had not considered that possibility.
At least the dude running the meth lab understands cash flow.
"American Idle"
gold..pure gold.
can someone with the skills photoshop an "American idle" t-shirt onto Casey.
How about a picture of Casey as Giligan
The "homeless" guy did not cut the lawn!!!
IF there is in fact a homeless guy, it is either:
1. A friend/ relative of Casey
2. A secret renter
3. An investigator for the lender/bank
My guess is that the lawn was cut by the lender in anticipation of a trustee sale.
As we all know, Casey couldn't tell the truth to save his life. A good rule of thumb is to assume the exact oppositeof what he says.
"Homeless Guy" was either Emilio Estevez or Richard Dreyfus from "Stake Out." I never though of this. Of course, the Sacto DA's Fraud Investigation Team would use exactly this type of vehicle. First in the street, then the driveway then when discovered into hiding.
'Course Casey as Gilligan makes me... The Professor! That means I get Mary Ann! Whoo Hoo, vote me onto the island.
N.B. I'm working on an open, honest and above board tip jar mechanism.
Casey's blog is about as exciting as I am right now.
Sincerely,
Anna Nicole
Yes, tip jar! Count me in Rob. I've "seen" & "heard" you around the internet way before this little escapade so I trust you.
We will be less likely to duplicate efforts if we know Rob has purchased the info we agree we can't glean from available public records. It will be more efficient and helpful for us all to have the same info to swirl around our suspicious minds.
How "sweet" would it be if the next 15 minutes of fame belongs to EN bloggers busting Casey's butt!
That's horrible, Anon. 1:06
@mel
Looks like may be right about Casey selling EMail addresses from the blog. I checked the SPAM-filter logs and the rate of SPAM I am receiving has jumped (queue Monte Python skit).
I am starting to wonder again, if this whole thing is a put-on.. A homeless person mowing/watering the grass? Putting a lock on the gate? Anyone check the title on that place?
@Stephanie J.
All you have to do after speed-bumping Casey in a Jeep.. is do some Mud-Bogging.. good deep mud can scrape all the stuff off the bottom.. then just powerwash the underside. If that doesn't work.. maybe I should give it a go. My K-30 is high enough that nothing will stick to the underbody.. just the tires, and that will clean up easily.. Throw over 2000lbs of sand in the back, would make a nice impression.
Casey said…. “He told me he used to live in the house back when I had it leased out last year. I never met him before and he wasn’t listed on the application so apparently he was living in the house last year without my permission.”
So now Casey was leasing the property last year? How long was the lease term? And how much money was he getting? Hasn’t Casey only had the property a year (Jan 2006)? Why was he leasing it, if he was planning on rehabbing and flipping it?
Of course this is whole story is just more BS from the trollmeister.
One thing that struck me as odd is that in the picture, the gate ends at the end of driveway, and there is no gate to left of it. In all of the previous pics the gate was surrounding the property. What’s the purpose of having a gate around only part (or some) of the property and allowing any homeless Bob to walk up the pathway and squat to his heart’s content?

Sweet Jesus, have some class, ffs! The woman isn't even cold yet and she left a baby daughter behind.
I think I got an idea what's going on. Casey talked about paying the mailman for "sweet deals."
What if this "homeless guy" is yet another person Idiot paid to occupy the home, and of course, Idiot has not paid him yet?
so, what exactly does homeless bob do when he sqwats?
(LONG POST - SORRY)
If you're hosting a hater party, give me plenty of notice since I ride Greyhound. In the cargo area.
I hope this is as good as the hater party was in Modesto!

Hey everyone…
That was an EXCELLENT PARTY at Casey’s Modesto place on New Year’s!
Casey, you really missed out by not being there. But we got along fine without you.
I noticed when I arrived that the locks for the front door seemed to be busted out of the door frame, you might want to check on that.
We had more haters than I’ve ever seen in one place other than a courthouse, and some hot babes who said they like Casey’s looks. They said they never read any comments other than his, so I thought “hey I have a chance” (of course I didn’t). There were also some creepy guys who also said they really liked your looks, everyone avoided them.
For starters, I think we need to apologize to you, Casey, about the bathrooms. I guess no one checked if the water was still turned on before arranging the party. Sorry about the booze spilled on the floor and walls. Sorry about Sputnik the cat - no one remembered his litterbox, and he did his business all over the house. Good thing nearly everyone kept their shoes on! Also, everyone was giving him fishy treats and I think he ate too many because he would go off somewhere and yak them up. But then he kept coming back for more! Sorry about the ceiling in the dining room, Robert Cote tried to make a flaming drink and it got a little out of control. Fortunately Homey Da Clown was able to put that one out with seltzer water. Sorry about the kitchen, Nigel Swaby was making hot snacks and accidentally started a fire. We learned something, never throw water on a grease fire!
Sorry about the back yard, we had a lot of people outside and it got trampled. The side yard is full of empty bottles now. Also, some guy claiming to be Tim from Monterey Bay showed up in a monster truck with a Harley in the back, and was doing donuts in the front yard. Sorry about the windows, we had a soccer game going out back for a while and well, oops. Sorry about the roof, some of the babes wanted to sit up there and look at the stars and I’m a sucker for that kind of thing. I hoisted them up there, no problem, but when I got up there I found that the roof wasn’t built for a Troll, my boots kept ripping off shingles and my weight was cracking the plywood underneath. You might have some new leaks now, sorry. Also when I came back down I accidentally tore the gutter off the back of the house.
Eventually the sun came up, and I threw out everyone who was left (Trolls make good bouncers). I wedged the front door back into place so it looks okay from the outside, you wouldn’t want any riff-raff just walking in.
PS: We left the noise citation in the mailbox. There were already some other ones from the city for not cutting the grass and stuff.
PPS: Those creepy guys said they left you a present. I didn’t see any gifts so it must be cash. Better go down quick and pick it up!

I'll be up there anytime. I'll bring my camera and film some stuff.
If he even tries something like that, I will kickstart a documentary on the little scam artist.
My question to Casey is this...
Why no mention of this homeless guy until now?
Vague guru @ 1:18:
It's possible that the homeless guy leased the place from the previous owner.
Or the whole story could be a load of crap.
Casey just mentioned that he's been nice to the guy and apparently he's gone now.
Again, WHY NO MENTION OF THIS GUY BEFORE? He blogs about the dumbest things, why not that a homeless guy was using the bank's property back when he just took a loan out for it?
So now Casey was leasing the property last year?
Casey "lease-optioned" the place for a few months. He's mentioned it many, many times before.
Do try and keep up.
Hey Isamu,
Never seen you before, but guess what, I have never seen the lease mentioned before either, smartass.
We are on the same team on this blog - go somewhere else.
^ Meow. Catfight.
We are on the same team on this blog - go somewhere else.
8 PM, 55th and Racine. We'll straighten this out, twerp.
Isamu,
not a team player.
Bring it on Isamu, I could take you down in my sleep.
And one other thing, if you saw me the last thing you would think would be "twerp". Eat your heart out, looser!
@mel
If we did see you, what *would* we think?
Okay, fellers. Take it outside and get back to us. While this is by no means a "respectable" joint it is a respected joint.
Sorry Uncle Rob, but bashing a fellow hater is just plain wrong to me. Don't worry, I won't get physical.
Hey Anon, thanks for asking - but since this isn't a personals blog, I better not risk riling up the Dawg. Single and female is as far as I better go.
That homeless guy should steal the boat.

I S A M U is one of Casey's multiple personalities. Shows up here only to defend "Baby" Casey. Ignore this troll. When he/she shows up you can be assured that we have been hitting too close to the truth. A 100% indicator.
Thanks for the heads up, Heidi. I have been at home sick all week, and I am getting delirious from the inactivity. Somehow the thought of punching a Casey lover in the head really appealed to me.
Boycott Isamu!
Now that confirms it.
Isamu has been wrong everytime he tries to "correct" me.
Sorry bud, Casey said $35K and then it moved to $50K. FACT and deal with it, Mmmmmmkay?
I don't think ISAMU is one of Casey's personalities.. I think I may actually know who it is(the persona behind the name)... We'll see.
Isamu's being a bit of an ass here, but I remember reading about the Burdett property being leased out back in late summer or early fall. When the market tanked, they realized that their option to buy was worthless and walked away after only a couple of months.
Also, someone was asking about Burdett being uninhabitable. That's his other Sacramento property (or North Highlands, actually), 6500 Larchmont. Burdett's in relatively good condition (at least back when Looser Boy took his Flickr pictures), but in one of Sacramento's worst neighborhood. The North Highlands is a little nicer and certainly safer (not great, but halfway decent), although the school's suck, which is why my wife and I would never consider moving there.
Just going off of what I've seen from the pictures, my guess is that Larchmont is a good $15-20k minimum from being a place worth living in again. When the property finally is sold as an REO, my guess is that its maximum prices tops out at $180k. If the market flounders as badly as I expect, the bank might be looking more at $150k if it doesn't make it onto the market as an REO by June. Countrywide is being pretty short-sighted if they won't approve the short sale for anything lower than $220k, IMHO (especially given that they have Casey's $50k promissory note in hand).

Like, this hater is so, like, loosing it:
"Countrywide is being pretty short-sighted if they won't approve the short sale for anything lower than $220k, IMHO (especially given that they have Casey's $50k promissory note in hand)."
Walt, dude, do you like _see_ this note listed in my spreadsheet (awesome program)? Well, like, do you? It's not there. Poof. Gone. I repossessed it, or republished it, or repudiated it, or sumpin.
Now, where was I?.....Got to find a sweet deal...American Idle stil wants me to audition...sweet....Galina still not back yet from school...why?....Memo to myself: ask her why she's gone every night....need to rearrange papers...ink cartridges need filling....where's the ink?...what's that noise? ...what was I working on?...oh, yeah, have to find some sweet deals....check my Rolodex....Homeless Bob says he has some bird-dogging friends who can help find other abandoned houses....I agree to pay him $10K finder's fee for finding this dump on Burdette...oh, wait, I own it!....laughing out loud....I need to get a wheat grass shot...when does American Idle come on?....whoops, on battery power now...I guess we forgot to open the mail and pay the electricity bill....but it's all good.
ISAMU is a SEO web directory. SEO is one of Duane LeGate's favorite acronym's. Duane fancies himself an expert on "search engine optimization". ISAMU is Duane, Casey and Galina. They are freaking out about Rob's success and their failure. Ignore them.
