What's interesting to me is that even though some states require a 30 day residency to establish squatting, for practical purposes, that's often not true. All one has to do is claim that you've been their 30 days and/or create a fictional document that they've leased the property. Police don't want to adjudicate anything - a court date is set, and by the time court comes up, the 30 days have been established. At least that's what appears to have happened in a couple of cases.
Can you imagine going to the grocery, someone breaks into your house, claims to be a resident? Wouldn't be a good idea for someone to try this with Jolly.

Castle doctrine.

Stumbled onto this epic squatter's story:
One man checked into a New York hotel for one night, paid $200, then exploited the state's Rent Stabilization Act and stayed for five years without paying another dime. Not only that, he even got the City to transfer the entire hotel's deed to his name at one point. He has since been evicted and is facing criminal charges.

It's the woman's house, bottom line. Throw the squatters out in the snow with any and all possesions.
All the rest is just lace.

No. Throw them in jail. This is grand larceny.
