okay, so a friend of mine and I just recently established a squat last weekend (3/20). The place was nice, in good condition, out of the way, and easy to improve. We made sure that no one could get inside when we left it for a few days. This place has obviously been abandoned for many years. So when we go back like three days later it had been completely trashed. EVERY single window broken, front door ripped completely off and is now gone, all the boards we put on the windows broken off and gone, all of the salvageable wood gone, and some gang like tags. The cans of paint that we had found in the house were opened and splattered everywhere, the toilet was smashed to pieces, and in all of the surrounding barns/sheds all of the windows were smashed.
This wasn't just a spur of the moment thing, whoever did it packed a crowbar and a sharpie, possibly rode a pick up truck. There are no other squatters in this small town either. Seems too coincidental for this to be a random act of destruction and more like something directed at my friend and I.
Not really sure if it's even worth my effort to fix it up, and if I did it might get trashed again or whoever did it might come back to start some trouble with us.
Any opinions/suggestions?
