But trespass is only a civil offence and not a criminal one (in the UK 
anyhow) and breaking and entering is not in itself a crime, only a 
constituent part of burglary - you'd also have to prove intent to 
steal. So you could sue him/her, but strictly speaking no criminal act 
has occured...  

Sorry to be a pedantiscist.
