My name is Gardenia C. Hung, victim of hate crimes, abuse, heinous criminal acts by the Lombard Police Department, the Fire Department and the Village of Lombard, while I have been a Lombard resident homeowner at 502 S. Westmore- Meyers Road in DuPage County, Illinois 60148. I have been writing to report crimes committed by the Village Lombard Police Department and Keith Steiskal, from the Lombard Fire Department. On November 5, 2008, Keith Steikal demolished my Lombard house and I am still homeless. On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, the Lombard Fire Department demolished my family home, real estate property, family assets, legal documents on file cabinets, as well as professional business equipment, documents, and Illinois State Notary Public legal files at 502 S. Westmore-Meyers Road, Lombard, IL 60148-3028 USA. For the last sixteen (16) years, the Village of Lombard, et al. has damaged and abused the subject property for its own public purposes in Du Page County, Illinois as an access to crime, without just compensation to the Hung Family and the Estate of Mr. Roberto Hung Supplemental Care Trust, pursuant to the doctrine of “Inverse Condemnation”, the Hung Family petitioned to redress damages and losses as follow: Since 1993 through 2008, the Village of Lombard, including the Lombard Police Department, and the Fire Department have been abusing and damaging the subject property more through trespassing, unauthorized access entries, access to crime after 1996, when the late Mr. Roberto Hung purchased the Lombard Historical Brick Bungalow. During 2004, the subject property was damaged by water flooding from bursting plumbing pipes under ungauged water pressure caused by Lombard plumbing rupture and faulty storm draining system in Du Page County, which required PSI valves to be installed by the Department of Public Works and Water Services in the Village of Lombard. (Case reference to Yee v. City of Sausalito, Appellate Court Decision.) During 2004, 2005, and 2006, the Village of Lombard has interrupted public utilities services for the Hung Family and the subject property causing additional damages and losses to the Lombard Historical Brick Bungalow for lack of telephone service lines, no electricity, and no water service to the homeowners. During 2005, the subject property suffered extensive roofing damages and losses to existing residential telephone utilities caused by unauthorized SBC Telephone Services by the Lombard Police Department, the neighbors John and Eva Carpenters, sons, relatives, associates, and other accomplices trespassed into the Hung Family real estate property by jumping over the adjoining fence posts between the Carpenters’ driveway and the backyard of the subject property. During 2006 and 2007, there were also existing damages and losses to the green lawn and landscaping, as well as the plant life, flower beds and borders due to the Village of Lombard Public Works Project for street pavement and water sewage inspection. Hate crimes by the Lombard Police Department arranged against the Hung family in Lombard have been deliberate heinous acts in the Village of Lombard considered to be torts. An intentional tort arises from deliberate invasion of another person’s rights, causing injury without just cause or excuse. For instance, the new neighbor drives backward into the owner’s fence posts between the adjoining driveway and damages the existing fence on the first moving day into their new home. The owner of the damaged fence posts can sue the new neighbor for repeatedly driving into the owner’s fence posts with a van, a lawnmower, or deliberate carelessness. Intentional torts include interference with a person’s freedom of movement, defamation of character (libel and slander), invasion of privacy, interference with property rights, misuse of the legal process, fraud, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Trespass is a tort, a civil wrong because it interferes with a person’s property rights. For instance, the new neighbor’s son jumps the fence adjoining the owner’s property repeatedly without permission. Or, the Lombard Police Department in Du Page County, Illinois allows intruders, strangers, terrorists, and criminal repeat offenders to jump the owner’s fence into the backyard, under approval of the Village of Lombard, Town Hall staff, and the Village Manager, Bill Lichter, President Bill Mueller, including Trustee for District 5 Ken Florey, and others, without the authorization of the Hung Family as owners of the real estate property. Common law “tort” action features unreasonable interference with the interests of another. For instance, intentional infliction of emotional distress is a tort. Case-in-point, John Carpenter, the neighbor calls the Lombard Police Department on the Hung Family when the daughter arrives one evening, last summer 2006, and walks into the backyard—there was nothing wrong in the backyard, at the house, or with the daughter of the late Mr. Roberto Hung, J.D. An injured person may sue anyone who commits a tort against him/her to collect damages—money to compensate for the wrong. Trespass is an unlawful intrusion that interferes with someone else’s possession of property. A trespass gives the property owner the right to bring a civil lawsuit and collect money damages for the interference and for any harm caused. Some states in the U.S.A. have laws that make trespass a crime and prosecute illicit access entry into property with punitive fines, sanctions, and imprisonment. Generally, a trespass is committed on real property (real estate or land and everything that is attached to it), but a trespass can also be to personal property (all other forms of property) as well. Criminal trespass is accomplished by violence or tends to be a “breach of peace”. Some statutes consider any unlawful entry on another person’s real estate property as a criminal act. When the trespass involves violence or injury to a person or property, it is always considered criminal, and penalties may be increased for more serious or malicious acts. Criminal trespass is prosecuted in the State of Illinois by punitive fines, sanctions or imprisonment or both. The standard remedy in an action for trespass to chattels is a judgment for an amount equal to the value of loss or use of the property. Damages from a trespass claim are based on the harm caused to the owner’s property, rather than the general value of the chattel. Under common law, many acts can constitute both “conversion” and “trespass” as “action in trover”. Conversion as an “action in trover” under English common law is an ancient, historical form of legal action to recover possession of personal property, and its practice to settle disputes, contests, and arguments, has developed our modern sense and interpretation in the application of common law in the 21st century and beyond. Action in trover is the technical name for a lawsuit to recover damages incurred for a wrongdoer’s “conversion” (wrongful taking, misuse, abuse, alteration or destruction) of personal property belonging to someone else. In trover actions, the measure of damages is normally in proportion to the value of the property at the time of conversion. Legal “action in trover” is a remedy for conversion or the wrongful appropriation of the owner’s personal property. During the course of the 16th century, “action in trover” developed as a special form of legal action in a case. Trover damages are measured in proportion to the market value of the property, plus compensation for deprivation of use, and compensation for other losses naturally and proximately caused by the wrongful taking of another’s property. The owner can also recover interest that would have been earned by the money value of the object and any expenses incurred in attempting to recover the property. Another example of common law is “negligence per se”, that is to say behavioral conduct which is evidence of an unreasonable action (or failure to act) that causes injury to a person or damages to his/her property. Negligence per se, as carelessness in itself, is behavior that falls below the standards set by law for protecting others against risk or harm. As a result of “negligence per se”, anyone who is injured, or whose property is damaged because of someone else’s negligent act or failure to act, is entitled to bring a civil lawsuit against the wrongdoer, for an “action in trover”. In itself, negligence is a state of mind involving carelessness, forgetfulness, inattentiveness, refusal to perform duties and obligations required by law and professional standards. In negligence law, a person has an obligation and duty to exercise reasonable care for the physical safety and for the property of others people. Negligence per se involves “misfeasance” which is to say, the improper doing of an act, and “nonfeasance”, that is to say, the failure to perform the required duty. In cases involving “imputed negligence”, the first person in charge may have a duty to see that the second person in force exercises care in regard to any third party or property. Thus, “imputed negligence” falls upon the first person when the second person fails to perform the duty of care for the third person, “vicariously”. In the same way, “respondeat superior”, in Latin, illustrates a principle of law that holds an employer liable and responsible for anything that an employee does during the course of employment. Case-in- point, the Village of Lombard is responsible for all its employees’ actions and non-actions, at all times. When a person suffers harm because of someone else’s negligence, the same person can sue the negligent person and make him or her pay for the harm, damages and/or losses caused. Given that the negligent person owed the injured party a duty to use care; that he/she violated that duty by failing to act according to the required standard of care; and that the party incurred injury or that property was damaged as the result of the negligent person. In the doctrine of “negligence per se”, the violations of statutes by the negligent person creates a case for legal action in itself, by default. In order for this doctrine (of negligence per se) to operate, the statute which has been violated must have been designed to prevent the type of injury or damaged suffered by a victim of crime, abused by another person due to “negligence per se”. Case-in-point, in the legal action for Village of Lombard v. Hung, et al., the Plaintiff is subject to “negligence per se” for the violations of Illinois statutes pursuant to consumer service fraud, breach of the Fair Housing agreement contract, and Lombard real estate liability for the sale of old houses in Du Page County, Illinois, USA. Since 1993, in the Village of Lombard, the Hung Family real estate property and all family members, have all been injured, disabled, and damaged due to the Village of Lombard’s failure to provide the duty of care, according to the required standard of care; and the Hung Family members and real estate property have all been victims of crime as a result of “negligence per se” by default in the Village of Lombard, Du Page County, Illinois, USA.
