2 THINGS…one of the vigilantes was wearing a Trump t-shirt, and is the woman squatter peering out the window the missing kate?
Two vigilantes have showed up to evict three brazen squatters who are living at a New York City home after its owner was arrested after she tried to remove them.
Adele Andaloro inherited her family's home, located in Flushing, Queens, but she was left aghast when squatters moved into her childhood home last month.
Andaloro confronted the squatters herself - and was subsequently arrested when one of the men inside called the police on her for changing the locks.
The furious homeowner, who had been in the process of selling the home, said: 'I'm really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home.'
She also shared her fear that by the time authorities look into the matter, it may be more than 30 days since they moved in. Crucially, squatters in New York have rights after occupying a residence for more than a month.
According to neighbors, the unruly squatters have been seen and heard carrying out home renovations inside the Queens property.
On Tuesday afternoon, two men pulled their black truck into the driveway of Andaloro's home looking for the brazen occupants.
'We are looking to get this guy out,' said the unidentified man, who appeared agitated and was dressed in a black 'Trump' t-shirt. He said: 'I am here to talk to him.
'I want to see why he is here.'
One of the neighbors on the block, who saw what transpired, said 'holy c**p,' and said she had no idea that the squatter issue was causing so much backlash.
Many of the neighbors are baffled by the ordeal - and say they want to know how the squatters gained access into the house in the first place.
'It's disgusting,' one person said, who mentioned that he has seen one of the squatters walking around outside.
He added sarcastically: 'I wish I could live rent free.'
According to locals, Andaloro was living in the house with her daughter and mom.
When her mother passed away a few years ago, she stayed in the house and rented out the basement to an older man and his dog, who was said to be a beloved member of the community.
When the man moved out of state, Andaloro put the house on the market.
The two-storey home that sits on a quiet street in the Whitestone- Flushing border estimated value on is more than $1.2 million, according to Homes.com.
A woman who appeared to be living in the home would not answer the door after several attempts were made, but earlier in the day told a source that she doesn't know what is going on and said that she is a roommate in the home.
The same woman hours later had ordered take-out that was delivered to the home around 6.30pm.
She opened the door to pay for the order, but soon slammed it shut soon after.
