Man busted for living Condos crawl space for "a while"

How does this happen? No o e is that quiet. The owner said they heard some noises but I guess they did not look? If I hear noises in my attic, im going to look. There was an extension cord going through a vent and the access door was damaged and no one living their said 'hmmmmmm what's this?"

Very odd.

Authorities this week said they discovered a man who had been living for some time in the crawl space of a condo near Portland, Oregon, that had been outfitted with various items, including lights, chargers and a bed. He also appeared to have changed the locks on the doors of the space.

According to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, the situation unfolded a little before 11 p.m. local time Wednesday when deputies were called to a condo complex near Happy Valley, a small city located just southeast of Portland, after a witness reported seeing a man who wasn't known as a resident parking his car and walking toward the back of one of the buildings.

Not that surprising

I had a guy who snuck into my building and lived there for a few months or so.

The police came and kicked him out.

Did you live in the building when he was there?

no.

The rest of the story is that when it started he was renting a small storage unit.

The attorneys rented the big space, 1800 sf, before and it was filled with files. They went digital and vacated it. Then the bum guy rented it and filled it with worthless junk...and moved in surreptitiously. I did not know fof it or a while but then he started doing things he shouldn't have. I eventually paid about $3.500 to have it cleaned out.

He was in the space three or four years and paid nearly as much in total so it was not too big a deal.

It was not legal to live there...no full bath, no kitchen and only one exit and against the lease.

That all makes sense.

This guy was living in an attic in the house that the people were living in. They heard noises above them but did not even think to look up there. It makes no sense to me.

Some people work a lot. Not long ago I was not at my house for about 17 hours for work. All I did was come home and crash out only to wake up only to wake up 6 hours later and go back to work. Sucked

I get that too but he is going to make noise up there. I do not see any way someone can be that quiet and not be detected. Then there is the power cord through the vent. How is it this not noticed?
