My sympathies. I know how you feel.

About 10 years ago I was working half of the month in Los Angeles and half up here in near Lake Tahoe. During the half of the month when I was in L.A. some people broke into my house and basically moved in. They slept in my bed, wore my clothes and ate my food. Luckily they used the toilet. They stole a few things (there weren't any valuables) and the only vandalism was that they broke a beer bottle all over the kitchen.

I must have just missed seeing them when I came back up. The house didn't feel like mine for quite a while. I washed everything in hot water, twice. I had a professional cleaning service come in. I wanted every trace of them erased.

The police did end up catching them. They were related to one of my neighbors. It's a long story. He ended up in jail for a while. She paid restitution to me for a few years at $20/month.

It was an awful, scary experience. I'm sorry you had to go through it.
