He would just squat until the owner could get him out. When he was booted from the one next to us, every floor and countertop in the house looked like that car. Fast food bags and containers were a foot deep on the floors and counters. Sunny D and cheap wine bottles were another two foot deep everywhere you looked. He ended up doing that to three houses in our little neighborhood until people got wise.
Came to find out that the Sunny D bottles in that quantity are a sign of a meth addict. Seems that it help them recover after a bad binge.
I never met the guy, but saw him a few times. He was a really weird duck, but to see him you'd think he was just some rich weird dude. Both he and his partner drove $200k Mercedes.
