A stranger moves into the backyard of an elderly Spokane couple's property and now they can't get that woman to leave. The woman has been living in their garage for almost a month but even so police say she isn't trespassing because police say the property owner's son invited the woman to live in that garage.
Once she moved in police say she established residency. Apparently it doesn't take much and it's left this elderly couple with a big mess to clean up. "I think it's wrong, it's my property, I pay taxes for it, I want it back," Homeowner Don Bain said.
Don Bain built his garage to fix up old cars and make bird houses, however for the past three weeks a stranger has called his haven home. "I don't even know her, I don't know she looks like a street walker to me," Bain said.
It all started when Don allowed his stepson to move into the garage three months ago. "He moved different people in, he had as high as eight people in here at different times and we told him no you stay there and no one else," Bain said.
When Don asked for the guests, including the woman to move out there was a confrontation and his stepson was arrested and taken to jail. The woman and another man stayed without a lease and not a dime paid for rent. "She don't even pay the light bill," Bain said.
Don called police, hoping they'd be forced to leave, but police say the woman isn't trespassing.
