Imagine having the balls to put your life on the line for your country by serving in the United States Army in Afghanistan for two years, only to find that somebody back in America had the balls to "squat" in your house, meaning you can't move back into it now that your duty has been fulfilled.
![solider can't return to house because of squatters]()
Well, that is exactly what Army Specialist Michael Sharkey is currently going through as he tries to return to his home in Florida.
According to UPI, when Sharkey left for Afghanistan two years ago, he left his home in the care of his neighbor Lisa Pettus. She eventually hired handyman Julio Ortiz to work on renovations to the house that Sharkey requested.
Shortly after Ortiz began working on the house, he and his girlfriend Fatima Cardoso decided to move in and live rent-free - a dick move most people refer to as "squatting."
The squatting went unnoticed until Sharkey's wife Danielle visited the house to get it ready for her husband's return. When the Sharkeys asked Ortiz and Cardoso to leave, he refused, claiming he made a verbal agreement with their neighbor to work for rent-free living, a claim the neighbor vehemently denied.
Unfortunately for the Sharkeys, since Ortiz made the claim of a verbal agreement, they won't be able to move back into their house until police look into the matter.
And in case you're wondering, the answer is yes; Ortiz and Cardoso both have criminal records.
