i mean, these are in the news because in some states, it doesn't. your house is vacant and some bad person breaks in, claims he has a lease and you're mumped. it takes months to evict them.
But like, what is the dollar impact of those assholes annually? I imagine there are plenty of thefts with greater impact.
Do you think stealing a $500 item from someone’s bag at the gym should be treated similar to stealing a $500 from their bedroom?
I'm talking about total dollar impact, not impact per crime. I'm assuming squatting isn't terribly common and has a low dollar impact, unlike stealing from gym bags or bedrooms. But I'm not sure! Like I really only knew this was being discussed because of this thread and headlines about those Malibu squatters
