Man told to get rid of 140 dump-truck loads of junk on his land

<snip>

Kittredge - Collection. Storage. Odds and ends. All of them are terms that might be used to describe Bob Acker's expansive mass of stuff.
But they would be too kind - at least that's what some of his neighbors believe.

For nearly 30 years, Acker has been hoarding all manner of things on his property overlooking Kittredge. There are doors off their hinges, glass out of the pane and hubcaps with no wheels.

There are rocks - all kinds of rocks. And skulls from various roadkills stacked in tin trash cans waiting for bugs and time to eat the last of the leathery skin that is still attached.

But mostly there is just stuff. And it must go.

1. a real shame

this kind of hoarding is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. i don't see any sign of recognition of this. the world will be so much better when we really start to recongnize all forms of mental illness, including megalomania.
