There's a former landlord in Port Talbot called David Dale who owned loads of properties around here. One day he came home to find someone had found their way in to his house through an open window and claimed it as their own. They were there for 3 weeks before they just vanished one night.
During that time the police said they could do nothing as they had not forced entry. Locks were changed from the inside and the occupants could not legally be moved without a court order due to "squatters' rights".
