[QUOTE="Suz, post: 376608, member: 29"] Ugh, this brings back memories so you certainly have my sympathies. Of course you can change your locks! You might not be able to prevent her from "living" there but there's no law that says every family member has to have a key. It's ridiculous for them to say that. Invest in a fireproof safe with a numerical combination for jewelry, cash, extra keys etc. Don't use any number combination that she might recognize. Hide this in your bedroom. I would recommend a built in deadbolt for your bedroom instead of a padlock. We tried the hasp and padlock when Rob was living at home and he just got out a screwdriver to undo the hasp. Easy as pie! If you can find a deadbolt that has a numerical combination that would be ideal and a good way for her not to steal a key and make a copy. I started wearing a fanny pack at home with car/house keys, some money, cell phone, etc. I locked my purse in the bedroom where Rob couldn't get to it. It's terrible to have to live this way in your own home. I'm sorry you are going through this. Suz [/QUOTE]
