Oh, and also -- just for shits and giggles -- go do a google search on the law of "Adverse Possession." It will open your eyes. Under the law, if you go squat on a piece of land for long enough, it's yours. There are conditions you must meet, but the law actually does provide for this. And, it's law going back to old English common law, so I bet it's still the law in England, as it is in the U.S.
