re: Squatter breaks in and sells most everything in the house while owner is away

I’m trying to imagine what I would do if I came back after a ten day vacation and someone who had broken into my house was living there and I was told the police would not arrest them for breaking and entering, trespassing, etc and that I would have to go to court to evict them. I really don’t think I could stop from physically removing that person by any means necessary. I guess I’d end up in jail for battery or murder. What a joke this is. Someone breaks in and stays for 10 days and the law treats them like a fricking lease paying tenant?
