Artists built secret apartment in mall

I'm amazed that they managed to live there for 4 years before being found out :)

Wow, that's crazy, especially because I work at a mall and I sometimes feel like I live there. I wouldn't want to actually live there though. I can't believe security didn't notice earlier.

I'm not, after all it's not like mall security is as tight as a Prison, the thing I'm surprised at is that they'd do it willingly, without having been paid.

I thought that was a pretty good story.

A person can get away with quite a bit, I'd say, in places overrun by the public.
You just need the right look, the right attitude, and the right goods to pull it off.
Seems like this person had all that.

It's not like they could conceal the fact that they were erecting a cement-block building.
A bit of 'construction site' ambiance and no one would give you a second thought for the most part.

It's like hospitals... if you act the part, you can go lots of places unchallenged.
