“They couldn’t get [them].

And then they finally did.

And he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it.”

The search also shows Middleton hasnt paid taxes in years, and there is a lien on the property.

Middleton reportedly owns another Hollywood Hills home that is also heavily targeted by squatters.

The same neighbor told ABC 7 News the abandoned mansion is a magnet for crime.

Alright, what the hell is going on in California, man?

We have packs of homeless people taking over abandoned mansions in the Hollywood Hills?

you might’t make this shit up.

The property owner is John P. Middleton, son of Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton.

I have friends who live in like 500 sq ft and pay $6,000 a month to do so.

I am an idiot.
