There is a YouTube video out there about a guy in California that will sign a lease with you and move into the house with the squatters and be so obnoxious that the squatters will leave. One of the interesting news items I have read about that is scammers will scope out houses and learn who is gone and how long they will be gone then do scam leases with people looking for homes to rent and the renters move in only to find out the people they paid first, last, and deposit don't own the home and are nowhere to be found.
