[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 210005, member: 2459"] Sorry you're dealing with this Jennifer. I've been there done that and have the t-shirt. Although......I'm not exactly sure where it is because it's buried in my room somewhere under all the **** we keep in there to keep it safe. We actually had to graduate to a deadbolt because difficult child broke in twice when it was just a key lock door knob. You might want to save yourself the trouble and go straight for that. Also, keep it locked ALL THE TIME. Even if you're just in the shower, outside, in another room...etc. We have everything from food to wall hangings to a couple of windchimes that I KNOW difficult child would take apart to use the beads for something stupid. He feels that anything in the house is fair game and I don't let him step one foot in our room even when we are in there. If he gets to where he can look around you can see him taking a mental inventory and I don't trust him at all. Actually....I came home one day to find our window AC unit all cockeyed in our bedroom window and our door was unlocked. He had some unbelievable story so I wound up cutting a piece of wood to put above the lower window pane to keep it from being pushed up even more. Should have done that to begin with, and not just because of difficult child, but I never thought of it. When you do this, I wouldn't even mention that you did it or make a big deal out of it. If anyone gets offended or defensive, simply say (without accusing anyone) that things have been coming up missing and you are taking precautions to protect your things and your privacy. Leave it at that and walk away. I've been doing this for years and I hate it so I know how much it hoovers to have to do it. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
