Somebody Has Our House and Mailbox Keys And We Have No Idea Who!

He may not like that Biker/Trucker look. :giggle:
Well he's a trucker Win. :D Also, we stay in upscale hotels/resorts that all have updated from those flimsy chain locks. @Jules I'm like you. I'm not a motel type of girl. If it ain't our timeshare resort or comparable resorts or Wyndhams, Hyatts, Marriotts or hotels of that caliber, I'm not likely to book it.
 

Sounds like they have a key to the building now. I would report that key missing to the building management. They should have to change the lock and issue new keys to everyone. The building is no longer secure, and they should have insurance to cover the expense.

I wonder if your son could tell Rich that the keys he returned contained one that was not his.
Dear Rose. I don't know if you read through the entire thread. The likely culprit is our maintenance man's wife. They both have lived here for decades. Obviously the maintenance man already has a key to the buildings since he cleans each one on a regular bases. There is one key that fits all the buildings' locks. So the issue of security is moot. If they changed the locks, they'd have to issue the new key to Rich (the alleged culprit's accomplice) anyway. It's likely they wanted to give the key to a family member rather than pay $75 to get one since you can't just take it to a hardware store an have it duplicated (it's a DND key..do not duplicate).

Even if an "outsider" had the keys, there are close to 100 units in our complex, many with more than one family member. It would take time and quite an expense to replace everyone's entry way keys. They are not regular keys. According to a search the original makers of those keys charge an arm and leg for replacements. As an added safety feature, each apartment has two locks...one of which is a deadbolt. I appreciate your concern and I do to mention this to the VP of the board.

Sorry Diva, I didn't understand correctly. Thanks for explaining. I was ready to send out the hitmen, lol... it all made me so angry.
 

I'm really sorry about that. I'd turn the keys in as many would. But some people.... Get everything taken care of so you are safe!

My stepfather lost his keys last week. He had spares for the house on him. I found them in the car. Due to his hearing loss, he didn't hear them fall and then realized he didn't have them. He said he looked in the car but I guess I did better.

It's a tremendous relief to find one's missing phone or wallet, isn't it?

Such a worry of someone else having them and the havoc that person can wreak, along with the time, hassle and expense of replacing (or re-keying) everything if they're not located right away.

Thank you for your concern❣We're good. The lock was changed the next day.
