If there is indeed a real hell this man should be forced to the front of the line.
A businessman is under fire for buying tiny parcels of land so he can sell or lease them for inflated prices to people who thought they owned them.
In one case, Guthrie businessman Ron Edwards is demanding four Edmond condominium owners pay him $80,000 for a shared driveway he bought for $1,584 at a county auction.

"I thought I made a decent offer,” Edwards said.
The owners haven't paid, so Edwards blocked their driveway with concrete highway barriers last month.
"I was just livid,” said Hedi Lunday, 77, one of the condo owners at Timberdale Estates in Edmond. "It's extortion.”
Many Timberdale Estates residents are elderly; some barely can walk, Lunday said.

Edmond officials ordered the barriers removed for public safety reasons, and an Oklahoma County judge has issued an injunction temporarily barring Edwards from blocking the driveway.

3. Damned if I can remember what it's called
but you can't stop people from accessing their property.
Especially if they've been accessing it through there before you bought it.

Somehow I kept coming up with "right of way" and I knew that wasn't it. :)
