Serial squatter trashes Chicago-area homes with few consequences

In Chicago’s south suburbs, squatters are moving into vacant homes with few consequences. Nilam Patel owns a house in Lansing, Ill. The home was for sale when her realtor found a random woman and her children living inside the property. “I don’t even know where to begin,” Patel said. “It’s crazy. It’s frightening.
