Artist gets probation for building secret mall apartment

They had furniture and a Play Station 2, and used the toilets in the mall. It's like the film "Career Opportunities" with Jennifer Connelly, taken a step further.

"Michael Townsend, 36, said he and seven other artists built the apartment in a 750-square-foot loft in the parking garage four years ago and lived there for up to three weeks at a time while documenting mall life"
