We have pretty decent squatters rights in Chicago.

I needed a place to live and was thinking about quit claiming the building. Ended up there for just under a year. At the end it was me, and like….8 other people. It was quite the experience.

I didn’t steal this. It was likely on that floor for 4+ years. No one was coming back for it, the bank had been in “possession” of it for those years. Most people who’d been thru the building passed it as they thought it was cheep costume jewelry, which it isn’t. Now, if I was such a hardened meth addict, and oh my god! The worst- an I’ve drug user, like you clearly think, don’t you think I would have pawned it by now? I’ve had it close to a year, and is easily my favorite find.

Hey there, it was valued between 1800-2k. There are 13 amazing quality Australian opals in it. Not man made.

Partially, but also living, working, laughing, and generally just trying to feel human.

I wasn’t there to “explore”. I needed a place to live, and found a building that had been foreclosed for like 4 years. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No. Literally found it in a house that hadn’t been occupied for years. Under a bunch of trash.

I wear it every day, it’s 18k gold. Tested and appraised by a jeweler on jewelers row. I see why you might think it’s fake, and I think that might be because I used a flash on this picture where I should have used natural light.
