There was a case of adverse possession in Delaware recently, but I don't remember the new owner paying all the taxes. Do squatters actually do this?

A guy recently paid someone to “squat” on the squatters.

They looked to see when the squatters left the building. Moved in, changed the locks, and told the squatters they were living there.

What are the squatters going to do? Call the police and say they squatted there first?

I am befuddled over the “title insurance” ads I continually hear just as I am about the idea (true in my state by the way) that a “squatter” can effectively steal your real property or trespass in your home.

Do we not investigate and prosecute theft in this country any more?

The idea that a person could effectively “steal” the title of your home and not be prosecuted for fraud is absurd.

Squatters do call the police on lawful owners.

‘No Trespassing’ doesn’t always work.
Use this:

“Right to pass by permission, and subject to control, of owner: Section 1008, Civil Code.”

Messieurs Smith and Weston should have a definitive say in the matter. A backhoe finalizes the deal.

Or just hire some people to break squatters' legs

That's why the mafia, and worse, are coming (back) to the USA

Squatters should be directed to all the Chinese owned real estate and take it back

Can the owner not physically remove the squatter?

In California, if a squatter resides in a property for five years without being forced to leave, they can “claim rights to the property and take lawful possession.

That will get shortened to 5 days. All requirement dropped.
