Squatter victim Terry Boyette detailed the damage to his Texas home on Fox News on Friday, saying it could cost up to $200,000 to repair the destruction.
Boyett appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” and spoke about the months of legal battles she endured to evict squatters from her home, only to have it vandalized while she was away caring for her mother in Florida. It turned out that it was. Fox guest host Brian Kilmeade asked Boyett about what he found in the house, asking what he would see if he came to the location.

“I saw bunches of needles in my oven and bathroom and cracks in the pipes,” Boett said. “There were used medicine packets littering the floor and surroundings, and some kind of dust residue could be seen. It smells like a trash can, so you’d probably be surprised by the smell.” There is rotten food in every room.”
“My understanding is that they took your stuff and held a yard sale. So, did they make money by stealing your stuff?” Kilmeade asked.
“Yes, they did! They actually, we’re filing this with the police, but after receiving the eviction notice, they actually ran the Offer Up and Five Miles, and my dining room I sold my table and entertainment center. I couldn’t understand how they got rid of all my dishes and silverware. They did it at a yard sale,” Boyette said.
Kilmeade confronted Boyette about why someone would try this in his home, given Texas tends to be stricter, but Boyette said he thought it was a civil matter.
“I think the police don’t want to get involved in civil matters, because this person is saying, ‘No, I’m supposed to be here,’ and I’m saying, ‘They’re not.’ That’s what I’m doing. Their thing is, a judge has to decide it and then you’re just kicked out to go to court. When I went to court and this person didn’t show up, the judge even said, “I’m going to extend the appeal process because it’s a holiday.” And we don’t want anyone to be homeless at Christmas. ” And I was like, “Other than me?” Because I’m homeless for Christmas,” Boyette said.
Boyett said it could cost “$170,000 to $200,000” to repair the damage done to her home, and told viewers that certain measures such as installing cameras and trespassing on signs could be made. The government warned them to take measures and proceed with eviction procedures with the illegal occupation forces. Realize that you are in the same position.
Before leaving her Dallas-area home, Boyette hired workers to renovate her home, but one of the painters later broke in and left the home destroyed. according to to the New York Post. Boyette fought for her home in court for six months before she was able to get her property back from the squatters, the newspaper reported.
