After paying $16 to file a one-page claim to an empty, $340,000 home in
an upscale Dallas suburb, Kenneth Robinson moved in furniture, hung a
"No Trespassing" sign in the front window and invited television cameras
inside for a tour.
He says now that he doesn't want to be an example to others.
"The
truth is I don't want people to think that they should go out there and
do anything based on what I did," he said last week. "Whether they do
it or whether they're not is solely up to them."
Robinson
hasn't been charged with a crime but police said they responded to
several calls from his neighbors. One neighbor, Chris Custard, attended
Monday's hearing and was smiling after the eviction was ordered.
