Don Connolly passed away. You might remember him. This guy would buy tiny pieces of property that had gone to auction for delinquent taxes. He would call on those homeowners who owned adjacent land, and offer to sell them the slivers at highly inflated prices. After he was turned down, he’d erect unsightly fences (usually a bright pink with shiny stars) on them, and made those now very irate neighbors aware that they could still purchase the land at highly inflated prices. What a cad.
