    When they come back you might want to follow them at a distance so you know where they are should anything further happen . You can then point them out to the guards if it does.

    Make sure you have a 'phone on a shelf somewhere recording the proceedings when they do come back.

    And, if you have the manpower, might be a good idea to keep up the surveillance outside before, during and after the encounter.

    Have an update: They were unaware that we were watching 24/7 and left to a car they had hidden down the road so we went to make entry and they had changed all our locks.... So we kicked in the front door and are currently bagging their stuff and awaiting their return whilst changing the locks again.... There is a small dog they brought who is on his way to the pound. Thankfully other than the front door the house is undamaged so far.

    Surely the fact that the bastards changed the locks is against the law. Good on you op. Really hope this works out for you. Laws here are a joke,unless your a criminal,rapist,burglar,car thief or armed robber...

    Have a lookout call the guards when they see them return, and video everything so the waste of life don't try to claim some made up bull**** later.

    Glad you’re back in side, sounds like they wanted a pay off if all still intact. I’d be sure to stay put, when are next guests due. Record everything on their return.

    Sell up and move on. There is no reward for being a LL even if it is short term.

    They could return and torch the place in revenge. Shudder.

    I would hate to have that hanging over me.

    Get video surveillance pronto anyway.

    Delighted you've gained the upper hand!

    Any chance you could set up a live web cam? Should be great viewing!

    We're soon going to need a guarantor who is mutually acquainted with both landlord and tenant, even for an overnight stay. My sympathies, OP. I hope you and your friends stay safe.

    In these circumstances i.e. short term let's for holiday homes, can you put a reserve on people's credit cards...a bit like car hire?

    Fair play OP, if they haven't returned yet, make sure to video proceedings in case they try any auld bullsh!t making claims that you assaulted them etc.

    Proof that the law is an ass in this country. There is such a reluctance for guards to tackle any issue involving itinerants for fear of the bad publicity.
    It seems to have gotten to a point where there is a different law for settled people and itinerants

    Nothing to do with itinerants. Plenty of similar stories on boards about them claiming civil matters where clearly it is criminal. There was a thread recently about a group running a brothel and not even paying the rent on a property.
    Guards stood by and watched it happen.

    Either the law needs to be changed or they need to get off there arses.
    I suspect it is the latter.

    Guys- the OP once again has possession of his property.
    Given the large number of seriously dubious suggestions on this thread- I am going to be kind an give people the benefit of doubt for once- however, the thread is going to be closed.

    OP- if you have any further information you'd like to post to thread- PM me directly, and I'll assess whether, or not, to allow it.

    Regards all-

    The_Conductor
