They still own the house, but some illegal couple took over the house with the help of some jackass lawyer and adverse possession laws. So they came back to a house they're still paying for but can't live in.

It's bullshit, regardless of who owns the house.
Yeah, I remember the thread about the family in Colorado.
At least with a bank they have more resources to bring to bear against the squatter. Doesn't make it any less wrong, but it seems more like a victimless crime when it's against an institution.
