Michigan ‘rooftop ninja’ caught living in popular supermarket’s sign for a year: ‘She made it home’

She didn’t have to travel far to buy food.
A Michigan woman, known as the “rooftop ninja,” spent the last year living inside the signage of a popular grocery store.
Contractors hired to work on the roof at the Family Fare Supermarket in Midland, Mich., were shocked to find an extension cord leading to the secret living space on April 23.
When they made their way into the space, the workers were met with a fully decked-out living area furnished with a mini desk, flooring, a pantry of food and a houseplant.
“They were like, ‘OMG, someone is living in that sign,'” Midland Police Department public relations officer Brennon Warren told Midland Daily News.
Family Fare operates nearly 100 stores in seven states in the Midwest. The majority are located in Michigan, with more in North and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
No criminal charges have been filed.
Last month one of Gordon Ramsay’s $16.1 million London restaurants was taken over by “professional squatters” as the celebrity chef was finalizing a deal with new owners.
Members of the Camden Art Cafe, a self-described “autonomous cafe in the heart of Camden,” had occupied the York & Albany gastropub in a form of protest for the “victims of gentrification” and the country’s high-speed railway, H2S.
A court eventually ordered the group to leave while the remaining squatters stood their ground until locksmiths and bailiffs rushed the building on April 22, according to the Standard.
