Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It is already illegal to trespass or squat in a residential property, and it is already illegal to steal property You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
I was disgusted to learn that people stole an 85 year old lady's house whilst on holiday and she's got nowhere to live. Also that someone can put the house on their name after entering uninvited, hence stealing it. And the law allows this.
