My B-I-L

*sigh*
So, as you may remember, my B-I-L is an "interesting character" but lately he's hitting new heights with his utter cuntery. Remember, he's a fully grown adult male in his late 40s, with a child.
My mother-in-law lives in Greece most of the year, something she started doing about 2 years ago to avoid the British winter. This means that her house sits empty most of the time. We've tried to persuade her to rent it out to provide some income, but she's not keen on giving up her home even if she's not using it. However, she has bought another property nearby for cash in order to collect the rental income from that.
The B-I-L has recently acquired a girlfriend for the first time in years. We've never met her, because the he isn't talking to MrsREV because she wouldn't let him tag along on our anniversary night out (meal and a U2 concert). The girlfriend is from a different part of the country, but has moved up to be with the B-I-L. He owns his own place but he has a female lodger, who doesn't get along with the girlfriend, so they were looking for somewhere else to live (although why they couldn't just ask the lodger to move out, we'll never know).
He asks his mum if they can have the keys to the rental property to take a look to see if it's suitable for the girlfriend, which she agrees to. So he now has keys to both of her properties. A few weeks later, M-I-L comes home for a while to see family etc. and when she gets to her house, it's obvious that him and his girlfriend have been living in her house and not treating it well. For example, the power had been off at some point and they'd left all the spoiled food in the freezer. It took MrsREV a few hours to clean it out and get rid of the smell. The M-I-L also had comments from neighbours about all the lights been on in her house 24/7 and that they wouldn't want her electricity bill. Her car was parked on the drive, unlocked, with the drivers window down and the keys in the ignition because he'd been in the front garden and was listening to the radio and just forgotten about it.
So where were they now M-I-L was back for a while? It turned out they just decamped to the rental place instead of going back to his. He said they wanted to rent it, but with no contract or going through the letting agent. We told her to say no because he just won't pay rent, and he wanted to pay below market rate. Anyway, without resolving all this, the M-I-L goes back to Greece and he instantly moves back into her house (without her permission).
Fast forward to last weekend. The M-I-L is out at a party on Sunday evening and starts to get a load of phone calls from various numbers from her local UK area code. Normally she ignores numbers she doesn't recognise, but after getting 5 or 6 calls she decided she'd better answer. It was a woman she didn't know who said to her "Your dog is in some considerable distress, barking, howling and whimpering, you need to come home and sort it out", to which the M-I-L responded "I don't have a dog, what are you talking about?". Turns out the girlfriend has a dog. B-I-L and girlfriend had gone to Glastonbury for the weekend, leaving the dog in the house for 5 days. I'm sure you can imagine the state of the place after housing a dog for 5 days. They'd left all the internal doors open so it had free run of the house. Supposedly a mate of theirs was coming once per day to walk it/feed it etc. but one of the neighbours reckoned they'd only seen him come a couple of times and he only stayed for 5 mins each time.
The M-I-L got another neighbour, who has a spare key, to rescue the dog and assess the place. Basically, there's piss and shit everywhere, as you'd expect. The 2 morons picked the dog up on Monday, but she hasn't been able to speak to him yet. As of Wednesday, he'd agreed to clean the place up, but it's obvious that they got back on Monday, saw the state of the place and just moved out without cleaning anything up at all.
I'm finding it very hard not to run him over in my car right now.
