So the neighbors trespass, and find that someone is keeping garbage inside their private structure? Good thing they don't look in my home, I have garbage too!

So the neighbors trespass, and find that someone is keeping garbage inside their private structure? Good thing they don't look in my home, I have garbage too! It's also a bit funny that they say they did everything they could to keep the land clear, when he bought it for $21300; they could very easily have bought the land from or instead of him, as they did for the $1.4MM parcel.

Since then, neighbors say the container's glass windows have since been smashed and the entire unit has been extensively tagged with graffiti. He isn't maintaining it. He isn't securing it. I do agree that the community ought to have considered buying it. But he bought it and he's poorly administered his property, to the point now of apparent negligence and potential criminal wrongdoing ("criminal", not sure I agree with that, seems like it should be a civil thing to be me, but they are criminal charges that have been brought up).

  >He invited them onto the property. The property has been damaged (presumably not be those complaining, but the conspiracy minded will come up with something I'm sure): I don't think he invited Instagram user 'sashifly' into the container to take pictures of the garbage bags inside, though you may know more than me. It seems like he isn't keeping the property clean all day every day, but leaving the remains from a barbecue outside one night and into the next day is far from negligence, and the fact that people take his property for granted doesn't incur any obligation on his part. The business about securing the container down is ridiculous; it isn't going anywhere in an earthquake (you'd have bigger problems than that if it did), and the people who want it gone should have bought the property themselves (or made an agreement with Rhinehart). The fact that others are coming on to his land and vandalizing his property is cause for Rhinehart to complain about poor policing and behavior on the part of the locals. If the windows were broken by meteorites, I might agree that he should fix them, but when people are repeatedly damaging your property, you have a limited responsibility to clean up after them. From what I can see, the locals want a nice, clean, flat place to hike, and they don't want to pay for it, so they've begun a witch-hunt.
