I live in a safe neighborhood and don't need to lock my door because of crime but I do anyway just because of situations like yours, OP. The previous tenant of my house vanished one day with no forwarding address and didn't tell anyone she was leaving. When I first moved in I'd have her friends let themselves into my house looking for her to be shocked when she didn't live here anymore, alongside police with warrants for her (that was fun to wake up to). I lock the deadbolt as soon as I shut the door behind me out of habit now.

Run them over with your car. Then go visit them in the hospital and when they ask "what was that for?" say it was an accident with the biggest poo poo eating grin on your face. They'll get the memo.

When I come home I lock my door because I don't want someone to come in my house. I think you just learned first hand why you lock your loving door when you're home. You clearly don't live in an area where you can expect to leave that poo poo open and be fine, because you did and someone walked in. So loving lock your door.

I'm fortunate in that my condo door locks behind me and this is after I get through the front door that also locks behind me. Still, people get in and do poo poo like drag out the condo building's Christmas tree from the front lobby because they are drunk and don't respect other people's property.

The-Mole posted:Most places where people don't lock their doors happen to also be areas where gun ownership is around 100%. At least that's the case here in Oregon. When I was in college, everyone in the off-campus student ghetto would leave their doors unlocked all the time because most of the landlords were too cheap/lazy to give everyone a front door key. Someone walked into my house and stole our TV in broad daylight, and we also had the "Collegetown creeper" who'd let himself in at night to watch women sleeping.

Nah they don't say anything like that on them but there must be some way of identifying whether they can be copied because they can tell just by looking at it. It's happened to me twice and is the norm in my area; I've only been to small, local key copiers too. I don't know if it's physically impossible to copy the keys but I know no one around here will do it for you.

That's not true from my own experience or anyone else I've met's. Those locks are expensive. So long as you don't damage anything and replace the old ones when you leave, it's even perfectly legal as a tenant to change the locks (unless your lease forbids it). Why would the landlord worry about changing the locks unless they were going to move in themselves?

Why would the landlord worry about changing the locks unless they were going to move in themselves? In the US it is illegal for a tenant to change the locks without the landlord's consent, and giving the landlord a copy of the key. The landlord owns the property, they have the right to inspect it (with certain restrictions like 24 hours warning). edit: also, this thread is godawful, someone please gas it.

Ahh yes, good thing those people are making sure to adequately lock up their firearms and thus making sure that burglary does not put their firearms into the hands of criminals. Oh, wait - the first step to securing your guns should be locking your residential unit.

Depending on where you live, someone unlawfully entering a residential structure is a felony. However if after this you don't specifically tell the person that they are not welcome, they could argue they were an invited guest if they show up again. Inform them that they are not free to come in your house without your consent. Press charges if they do it again.

Blow her car up with a bomb. So like, she walks out to the car and then it blows up like in a movie. Then she'll think about coming into your house. If it happens again, leave a horse head on the bed or whatever, I'm not an expert. Wait, you couldn't leave the horse head without breaking into the other house so maybe bring a salad over for dinner at their house and then leave that in her bed. She'll be like "why is there a salad in my bed" and then her thoughts will drive her into insanity.

You should have driven her to Kinkos so she could fax her things. You are a bad neighbor. You should probably lock your doors so your children don't go exploring and fall into a construction hole when you are lounging upstairs naked.

Oh, wait - the first step to securing your guns should be locking your residential unit. Yeah, it seems stupid to me that you'd leave your door unlocked when you have weapons inside your home. Unless Oregonians have become so devoted to gun ownership that they have begun sewing weapons to their body for instant access (which admittedly, isn't the most far-fetched idea in this thread), I don't believe for a second that most people (in Oregon or wherever) are idiotic enough to leave their front door unlocked all the time. "It's cool, if someone walks in and tries to rob/rape/shoot us, I'll just use my GUNZ. Locking the door is such a pain in the rear end and the element of surprise is so overrated." Tangents aside, man up and tell the sister that her actions are not okay. You are an adult and part of being an adult is learning how to confront people and be upfront, instead of running to da goonz for advice. Of course, the latter option is much funner for us so there's that. Still, this incident is a fairly mild transgression and you voicing your concerns to the neighbors should in no way jeopardize your relationship with them, provided you are all mature adults (lol).

Continue leaving your doors unlocked and never speak to the neighbor about this. Put your copier back where it used to be, then sabotage it, but not in a serious way, in a zany, bizarre, and humorous way. Like if you tape dickbutt or goatse over the sensor so everything you copy comes out as goatse. This is especially hilarious because she's unemployed and is probably committing unlawful entry in a well-meaning but misguided and terribly inconsiderate attempt to get a job. "Ma'am, when you faxed your so-called employment application to us, did you intentionally place a picture of a man with a gaping, distended anus as the only thing under your work history? Because if so, we want to hire you immediately, you'll be the highest-paid Wal-Mart greeter in the country."

I've copied so many "DO NOT COPY UNDER PAIN OF PAIN" keys at lowes it's not funny by using the magic words "Nah just ignore that". Also the proper response to the intrusion was "Get the gently caress out of my house? What makes you think you can just wander in uninvited?"
