She told me that the only way I could look was if there was a police officer.

Descendants of the girlfriend tried to sell the property. 

Barely a week later, I meet 'wife's mother (who flew in from the midwest) at door who explained her daughter's boyfriend needs to stop lying to people, that his real situation is they're not yet married and were living in a converted garage and he left the kids home alone while wife was also at work and police were called because one of the kids somehow was found alone wandering the streets and subsequently placed in foster care til she (mother's mother) came to LA area to file for being their legal guardian in the interim.That LA Child Services would not release the kids back to the parents, but agreed to place the kids with a relative if the relative owned or had a lease on an apartment within Los Angeles County, so he found my Signal Hill 2-bedroom apartment (in my 2-family house) for her since they could not use the converted garage as a safe home for daughter's mother to take over the 'lease' on.  

I served my great country as a Military Police Officer and I also did a 7 yr stent in Fire/EMS as a Lt and EMT.

Oops Emily Dixon Looks like the forum police stepped in & hid the post, lol.

I'm currently a police detective for the Phila.

Of course I found this out 4 years after my judgment was granted...The police do not enforce civil law.

They don't have parties, police activity, they know how to fix simple things that the younger generation either never learned or doesn't care about, and they know that they need to pay their rent.You could tell them that your insuirance company requires you to give the house a yearly "once over" and you could go in and test the smoke detectors, check the furnace filter, etc.

The police would probably just laugh at you, but you could ask the HOA if they would call the police to step up patrols in the area for a while as you are concerned about potential for vandalism, etc., with all the alcohol bottles and litter and don't want it escalating.

Rule #2 is your 'out' call in the police and go for 'imprisonment'.
