They are clever buggers,
and can break and enter without it looking like it. The buggers got me, luckily they settle for £20 each and a cup of tea to leave.

My brother was a squatter for ten years.
It's a subject I am something of an expert on.

the squatters are pretty well-organised about it all
they have websites where you can share details of nice houses that might be empty and download "legal" notices and all-sorts.

one of my clients had the misfortune to own the building next door to the "squatters advisory service" in london. it came vacant. i think we had 3 sets of applications to tip people out before we could sell it, and that was with every precaution you could think of, even security.
