Squatters with a sense of entitlement?

A group of homeowners-turned-squatters-turned-thieves were reported to the Whitefish Police Department by the son of the new owner.

The son told police that the people sold the home to his father, who works in North Dakota. When they found out his father was not living there, they reportedly moved back in, even setting up utilities in their own names. The owner’s girlfriend asked the people what they were doing and told them they would be reported to police. Since then, the people left, but apparently stole the refrigerator, stove and other items when they left.
