An Englishman's home is his castle? Not if the bailiffs with their modern, go-ahead powers have anything to say about it.

I'm sure there's some people in Washington that are not recoiling in horror to this story, instead are salivating at the concept. If only they could get the guns away from those pesky homeowners.
There's not a lot of, from or about Gobbless 'Merica that I like but ... I do harbour (sorry - harbor) a sneaking "gosh, I say" for the spirit of their property laws.
If H.M. Burglar (or H.M. Bailiff) visits during the wee small hours in England it is law that you must make them tea, keep them safe and offer them carnal knowledge of firstborn.
It should be that you can just nail the bastards with a cricket bat and call a freephone 0800 number to have the remains taken away and the walls re-papered. It should also be that a week later a cheque from the public purse arrives in the post along with a telegram of gratitude from the Queen.
Should be.
Ditto for politicians a-canvassing but in their case the bodies should be put on public display.
