Glad to hear no one was hurt. Could have turned a bad situation into a MUCH worse one.
I'd get everything you can out of the poor treatment you have been given in regards to your safety though. Those laws are in place to prevent this very thing, and you shouldn't feel bad about taking full advantage of them to cause as much punishment as possible to those responsible. They risked not only your possessions but your very LIVES - and that is quite obviously 100% unacceptable. So, I say take 'em for everything they've got. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to live in a house?
