Closed on a property but missing fixtures after the fact...??

Short story is I did the walkthrough on a potential investment property sfh and it needed work but it was an off the mls deal from an out of town investor who had some family members living there mooching off her until finally she decided she wants to sell the property....anyway, I close on the deal and go to the property to do my post closing walkthrough and the previous live ins decided they would take a few light switches and light fixtures and they took all the bulbs out of the house....left wiring hanging out where light fixtures should be....anyway, so I get a good light bulb and test out the bathroom fixtures and master bedroom lights and they do not work!  They were working just fine before i closed on the house......now, not so much.  Now I have to hire an electrician to figure out why some of my lights work and others dont.....yes I checked the breaker. SO....

I will contact the law office that I closed with tomorrow to see what can be done if anything, but shouldnt ther be a stipulation about this in the papers somewhere about the property needs to be same condition as the showing?  It was a cash deal so there are no lenders involved if that matters....what would you do??  Thanks.
