Anyhow- what criteria should I look for? i should go see mom in Chicago. i sorta trust my 73 yr old babtist neighbor.  tho- if she sees porn it may be..../also i dont know yet if she would stumble into every room.

thoughts??

I don't even own keys for my house! One huge benefit of living in the boondocks is being able to leave stuff unlocked.
Well that and I get to run around nekkid.

The odds of someone actually breaking into this house are really low, I live on a dirt dead end private road & not many cars pass by. In my 12 years living here the only walking people have been Jehovahs Witnesses lol.

As to how to decide who gets a key? I'd go with the neighbor. Just pop a lock onto your bedroom door & keep the porn in there.

Um. Yes. I love love totally love living here. Nothing beats dancing naked during a summer rainstorm  .
I do keep the garage door shut but the keys are in my vehicle. I only shut that up to keep the critters out of my garage heh.

ETA: if I'm all nakked where the heck am I supposed to keep keys? They are NOT going to be kept in my hoo-hoo!!

if someone wanted something I had bad enough they wouldn't need a key to get it

However, the Rottie that meets them at the door when I'm not home is a very good deterrent

All my toys go into a lockbox in my bedroom closet if someone has to check on my pets while I'm gone.

i have 3 safes- and assorted bagggage.  trouble is- ill hide say pills or cash- and not be able to find it.. LOL

i lost my glasses- am waering old pair. they are SOMEWHERE in this 12 room house!  instead of having 1 junk room- now i have 4 junk rooms!  lol

im worried about my tires to make that trip.... cha ching $200 for 2 new front tires... i hate that- the car can use $1200 in maintenance items. i told me bro to get me a car. [he is a wizz] he asked me what i wanted to spend and said no problem. i do this way all teh time. he loves to hagle- i dont. he also can tell an engine simply by the sound.
so 1200 could diffuse 4-6k that im wanting to speand on my next car. [on the lot- price would be 2-3x]

i hear you sista!

i had a buddy in San Fran. well she was on rent control. her landlord she claimed would enter her apartment and steal meat from the freazer. she lived on knob hill. a pricey section. the goal- of course was to get her out- so more cash could be made....

7 years-renting- landlod had no key.
7 year renting from my mom- no key.

i lightened up- my close friend has a key. she is unable to tell a lie. she lives 12 miles away so its too far to housesit- argh

Status: offline 		My best friend has an extra key to the house and to the car, as well as my mother's bf and when I am working full time, I leave an extra set in my desk somewhere safe, just in case. Always have. If MJ lived closer, I would offer Him an extra set, just in case; He doesn't so He is outta luck, now the 'extra' key to my chain, THAT is something to think about.

Status: offline 		Yep, a lifestyle couple I have known since....geez high school.  Well the female anyway.  They have keys to our house.  They live here close to where we moved. 
Also a relative of mine in California has a key, in case you know they were ever in the neighborhood.

Status: offline 		No choice for " Lock the door??? Why? "

I live in rural southern Iowa (almost Missouri). If they even see the house, and if the snoopy neighbour doesn't bust them (she notices every strange car and would come see who they were and what they were doing ) and IF they make it to the door......there are two territorial and neurotic german shepherd bitches that they would have to get through. Then, anything of great value that could be carried out easily (jewelry) stays in a very large, and uncarryable, safe. And THEN they gotta get back out of the place, without the neighbour having rousted every gun toting hillbilly and redneck in the surrounding area that would shoot them just for fun. They are always looking for good catfish bait.

Status: offline 		Well I had a roommate move out so a lot fewer keys but her and her mom had one, my other roommate, me and my dad as he owns the house.  Currently only my roommate that stayed and I have keys to the house.  Though I too have been known to go away and come home with door wide open, my UM sometimes forgets to completely close it when we leave and the cats paw it the rest of the way open.

Status: offline 		i live at the south end of a smaller city & i often forget to shut, let alone lock the doors...i have this philosophy that whatever is in here are just things & if someone feels they need them more than i do, they're welcome to them...i used to live in a number of different places in another city & i was constantly being robbed...my daughter wanted to finish out her high school in that city, so in order to become less tense about the breakins, i decided to think of my things as just borrowed until the real owners would come in the middle of the night & take them away...things get to the point where they possess you......
