Imagine - a poor family absent for 6 months in another country due to distress in the family, come back home and find their home defiled by squatters. Debris all over, precious memorabilia and valuables stolen! One member in the family suffered a stroke due to this and these unspeakables refuse to leave and render the family who worked and saved all their life,homeless. Wow... This happened in England in 2011. In Luton, Bedfordshire. England seems to be the only country that does not throw squatters into jail.
