I don't have a final opinion of who's right in this debate, but I can come up with a counter-argument.
Your "lock my door" analogy is not complete. Imagine if you don't only don't lock your door, but also abandon your home, so criminals squat in there - and they end up terrorizing the whole neighborhood. Wouldn't it be logical for the police to at least barricade the place somehow? May be even fill doors and windows with cement, or take other measures to prevent squatting.
It would still make it unusable for you, and you'd have to renovate if you ever return - but many would argue that it's a reasonable way of preventing the damage to the whole community around you.
