<p>Perhaps outside the scope of the thread, but if somebody has been dumping junk cars in a ravine for at least 10 years I might be inclined to tell the adverse possessor to go ahead and take the property, and be sure to clean up all of the gasoline, oil, antifreeze,
and everything else out of that haz-mat site.<br>

<div>
<p class="ox-25165a782a-MsoNormal">PC has been threatened with a quiet title action by the owner of a vacant/unimproved lot neighboring PC's property. The neighbor has been using a portion of PC's property to dump garbage/junk/broken down vehicles/etc for decades.
The issue I am wrestling with is whether a person can claim that they had "actual possession" of a disputed portion of property when their use of the property was technically unlawful (local zoning disallows use of vacant land as a junkyard, and neighbor is
now being threatened by city with daily fines for violating solid waste disposal requirements)? I recall seeing a case that stood for the proposition that one cannot claim adverse possession through unlawful use, but I cannot seem to find that case. Does this
ring a bell with anyone else or does anyone have any thoughts on this?</p>
