Squatters in Burgos Province, Spain, installed a high-end alarm system and warning sign after seizing an empty house in San Miguel de Pedroso on April 27. They tossed old furniture, moved in, and now fiercely protect the property, prompting villagers' disbelief.

After installing their security system, the squatters even tried to register with local authorities—unsuccessfully. Neighbors fear more homes could be targeted, as suspicion and a 'psychosis of fear' take hold. The sight of dogs in the occupied field adds to the surreal scene.

The owner has filed 3 police complaints, but the squatters remain—protected by their alarm and a sign warning others not to trespass as they did.
