回复 'victorarty' 的评论 : Under state laws in the U.S., a squatter who has lived in a place for only a few days has no right to steal any of the owner's property. In NY it may be 30 days, but in CA it is at least a year.
回过来,我这事发生在90年代的中国,法律不一样,中国房子,主人就是长期不住别人也不能住进去:)

To reclaim property from a squatter, an owner must be able to prove he has both the right and the intent to use the property. Owners may also run into problems evicting tenants if they cannot provide the names. According to Hon. Fern A. Fisher, an administrative judge in New York, it is illegal to lock someone out of an apartment without permission from the Housing Court. There are exceptions to this rule, but generally a squatter has special protections after 30 days of residency. If you lock a squatter out of a building without evicting them via a legal proceeding, you may be liable for damages.
