Frederick Cooper Harris III, 43, of Wilmerding, PA., has posh taste in real estate.  Perhaps too posh, considering it just landed him in a great deal of trouble.

After viewing a $500,000 property with a real estate agent, Harris decided it would be a good idea to move in without the owner’s permission.  It turned out to be a remarkably bad idea.

He’s now sitting in Westmoreland County Prison.

Police reported he visited the home with the real estate agent, who refused to give him the keys.  He later broke a window, removed the ‘for sale’ sign and moved in any way.  The police were notified when the caretaker noticed someone was in the home.

Harris was charged with burglary, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief.  When the police searched the home, he had been squatting in the house for a few days.  The officers found drinks in the refrigerator, a sleeping bag and other personal items in the home.  Harris also parked his Chevrolet in the garage.

Harris has an outstanding warrant in the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office on similar charges, but further details weren’t available.  Online court records don’t list an attorney for Harris.

At least his new home already comes with a bed and three square meals.
