Theresa Calhoun, above, invested her savings in a quaint Tudor-style home on Muirland Street in northwest Detroit. She wanted a safe neighborhood for her daughter and grandkids to live.
But when they recently moved out, the locks were changed and a stranger moved in, Ronnie Dahl reports on WXYZ.
"A man showed up and said my daughter is renting the house and I said really, well it's not her house. I didn't rent it, so it's not possible," Calhoun said. "She came to the door bunch of paperwork, a lease which has to be phony."
Dahl confronted the squatter, who was wearing a dress while she worked on a Jaguar in the backyard. She went inside and never returned, but had the chutzpah to call Detroit Police on Dahl.
The squatter claims she was the victim of a scam. She rented the home from some people she met on Craiglist and gave them $2,500.
