I have served a 3 day notice to pay or quit which was ignored, ahd I live a mobile home park. The park has served her a 30-60 day notice. The have partially moved the belongs out, and there is no electricty or gas to the home. They are at present 6 months behind on the park rent and 6 months behind on the payment to me to purchase the mobile home. I have payed the mobile park the back rent in order to save my home.
I posted an belief of abandament on the door, and gave them contact numbers where I could be reached. I arrived at the mobile and found that they had broken the front door in, and immediately called the police. A report was not made. The following day they called the police wanting to know how to get into the mobile home, and were told to go to the front door that they broke down.
They left a hand written note that they would have everyting out in a couple of days. It has now been 4 days including the weekend and the holiday.
What are my legal options and get into the home and remove their stuff.

You cannot employ self-help. A court might hold you liable to the tenant for damages.
Instead, you would probably want to follow up with eviction proceedings in court.
