Anyone dealt with teens sneaking into or out of opposite sex’s homes late at night?

I grew up here, went to private high school in the late 80s/early 90s, and snuck out all the time (actually starting in 8th grade). I would actually be much more comfortable these days with my kids using Uber to sneak out (not that I'd approve) - at least it's trackable.

We used to call a cab company, give them a neighbor's address, then meet the cab in the street to go anywhere from 1 to ~10 miles away. Then repeat when it was time to come home.

Somehow, despite the drinking, drugs, and hooking up, I'm a very productive member of society these days and raising my kids to be responsible and make good choices without stifling them. They're teens now, and we've had talks about sneaking out and the risks involved.

My parents did not care and I was always at “sleepovers” but really joyriding with a carful of teens and young adults. We did all the crazy stuff and found ourselves in crazy situations. I do not know how I survived.

Hasn't this been going on for decades? I had a boyfriend borrow a ladder, had a friend with a truck drive to my house, and climbed up to my room 20+ years ago... my parents had alarms and everything but not on the second story.
