The Symbol

But there was something that the dweller left behind—the international squatter symbol on the site where the cabin once stood. The symbol was done in charcoal on the ground and it was clearly a message he wanted to convey to the authorities. The squatter symbol refers to a person who occupies abandoned or unoccupied land or real estate that they have no permission to use. It would not be wild to assume that the now-former resident of the cabin would simply find another unoccupied place to settle in after that.
