Get Revenge, Plant Zucchini On It

Always do your due diligence. That's the lesson learned from this guy who bought a piece of land in Tamarac, Florida in a tax auction and THOUGHT he'd gotten a bargain at $9,100. He THOUGHT he'd bought a house. But what he really bought was a 1-foot-wide, 100-foot long strip of land between driveways. Value: $50. And he's now stuck with it, a probably unsaleable strip he still has to maintain and on which he'll have to pay taxes. He wants the county to rescind the deal, but there's no way under the law that they can unless he can find some technicality to overturn the auction. Oh, one other thing: there were three other bidders and he only beat out another guy by a hundred bucks. So he was not the only one who thought he was beating the system. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
