Family shut out of their 'dream home' by Romanian squatters

Post Reply New Topic

It's hard for the Romanians to be out of their squatters. As a Singaporean, I hope some Romanian here can tell me that their diplomat's hit-and-run accident can be solved as an isolated incident. And sing to my Numa Numa all the way.

I suggest the best way for the Romanians to be evicted out is to engage a Singapore company to build a new town near to the squatters. then again, hire a Singaporean tractor company to bulldoze the whole area full of squatters or slums. These Romanians might protest, but Singaporeans have justification as we need to appease some sectors of our population that the person hit by the diplomat's car will rest in peace; as well as getting some jobs to reduce our apparent unemployment or underemployment.

Just my random and kiddish, immature thoughts.

I've had some knowledge of this (at least under australian rules.)

Best thing to do is to have them leave the house, then break in, change the locks and dump all their stuff on the verge.

Can't break and enter into your own house (if you have a deed.) and if you dump ALL the stuff on the verge you can't be held for stealing because you aren't keeping it from the "romanians."

Not sure if that'd work for Britain though.

Actually, the band that made that song is Moldovan. And the song is called Dragostea din Tei.

It *is* a criminal case. What they're doing is theft, especially if they're using stuff that was in the house. If they've tapped into the gas and electric, they're stealing from the energy company.

Why did they steal the property in the first place?

It looks like someone got conned.. They think they bought it. And cause their Romanian, theres probably language issues confusing that fact.

looks like they got them out and are back in the house but it's all messed up now :/

No matter what, if they can seize the house, they should live in the house... They can do it anyway if they are determined.

Haha, trust the Daily Mail to resport a story like this. *facepalm*

Ditto!

If the police would not help I would have appealed to (or paid) the local patriotic Skinheads to kick in the front door and throw the squatters out.

Where are the KKK when we need them most?

Remember the movie? "Godfather, my daughter has been raped and the police won't give me justice"

Godfather: "Why didn't you come to me in the first place?

I agree. Effective people are needed to do things that are effective! Why not give mafias a try?

What is the different between the Mafia and the government anyway? Both demand money from you for 'protection', and will kick the door in if they don't. Sure, the punishment from the former is more severe, but they often do the job more effectively, so it's a trade off that may be worth it.

I'll accept the tradeoff personally!

It is true that I've heard that as long as you pay the mob to leave you alone (protection money) that if anything happens they WILL get the person responsible no waiting, no courts, no warrants, they just go get them and depending on what they did they'll get anywhere from a beat down and warning to disappearing from world (AKA Killed). I wouldn't want the trade off simply b/c they make their own rules and we have no control at all over it not even a little. The courts can mess up and do so pretty badly from time to time this is just a perfect example. My feeling is that this "Roma" family is a rarity in that they knowingly stole a whole families home from them. I say that even though I've heard next to nothing good about roaming people "AKA Gypsies/Roma" I have heard they steal like no tomorrow and have really nice cars parked outside of trailer park houses (that's in the US) but they are people I don't think they all do that. I do think that the ones who don't still stay with their families and travel all over (which makes crime easy b/c they can't track you hence the commonality and prejudice saying they are all crooks) and if they travel all over staying in that society however small it is they are removed from mainstream society and it's moral codes which are taught to people who don't move around constantly it's hard to explain.. But basically I don't think they are inherently criminals they live in a negative culture though kind of like living in a ghetto makes it more common for people to join gangs, the gangs offer safety, money, women, popularity, etc. etc. etc. It's hard not to want to join them in crime when they have so much and you have so little and your poorly educated if at all.

I think you are confusing Romanian Roma with what we call travellers over here. The Romanian Roma are not constantly moving around. They live in flats and houses in Romania just the same as regular Romanian people. Romania's recent joining of the EU has opened a door that allows them to move and settle in other EU states. Don't forget, they were accused of stealing this families house, not their caravan.

As for the travellers, they often don't want to fit into mainstream society. They usually pull their children out of school before they can learn enough about the world to want to choose a different lifestyle. They fear education.
