[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are just creating issues where they don’t need to exist. You said yourself she left the house with your not knowing she was there. She’s not trashing the place, forgetting to lock the door, or doing much of anything probably. I imagine she uses the bathroom, takes a cat nap or watches tv on the couch, drinks some water or grabs a soda and leaves. That’s what mine usually does. Stop making it an issue and let her in. I would much rather give my mother a key than have her drive back home if she needs a rest. That’s just terrible for you not to be mindful of her safety and well-being as she gets older. [/quote]

or like mine and goes through every single personal item she has time to get her hands on.  I've seen neighbors do the same.

I can't imagine giving my key or key code to anyone else.

There was an older couple in my neighborhood when I bought my first house who expected everyone to give them keys because they "looked out for everyone". When I moved in, they gave me a tour of a neighbor's house who was on vacation. They went into her house many times during that week. Yes, I told on them once I met that neighbor. Everyone trusted them and gave them their keys except for a few of us. They never stole anything that I know of but I know they snooped and told me gossip they gleaned when they would go in the neighbor's houses. They went through bills and saw one neighbors kid was getting counselling.

Once neighbors insisted on giving me a key to their house. I'm trustworthy and never would consider going in to someone's house unless they told me to. I'm pretty certain they were hoping I would do the same. Nope. Within a few months I gave it back and told them there was no reason to have the key.  The truth is you have no way of knowing who will be appropriate and who will take advantage.[/quote]

Wow, that is beyond! What did your neighbors do/say when you told them the other neighbors gave you a house tour and went in their house several times when they were gone?[/quote]
