There's a couple in Colorado who left their house because the husband's job took him out of the the country. 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.
