I’d be pissed change the locks and never leave a key where it’s easily found. I’d also get cameras and say if they come back like that without notice cops will be called.
I just never hid a key outside my house 🤷 this was never an issue for me…now loser family breaking in thats a different story

It doesn’t matter that it’s your Aunt or it’s any of your family that is your private living space and nobody I mean nobody is entitled to walk into your private space without your permission. The even weirder part of this is that she bragged about knowing where your key was so it wouldn’t be the last time she walked right in and I would make sure that it was very clear that that would never happen again and I would make sure all my locks were changed because if she knows where the key is she can make a copy of the key and then who knows who can go in your home top priority is keeping your house and yourself and family safe

Change the locks and move the key
Put recording cameras facing the door before you leave, change locks, and don’t have a hidden key. If they do it call cops on them for a big scare.
Change your locks and don’t tell anyone where the spare key is… not rocket science lol and if I was you I’d bitch her out but if she was showing the house off because she’s selling it then u really don’t have a say. But if she just went in there for shits and giggles I’d say something.
Change the locks or move the spare key
Call the police they didn’t have your permission.

We have a setup where no one has keys to our house but us. We have a spare that we have for someone to use if, for example- they are coming in to feed our cat because we are away etc. But after that, the key comes back to us. And maybe don’t keep a spare key hidden.

Step 1: move your hidden key.
Step 2: tell family you love them but expect them to respect you and your privacy and not enter your home without you being there and especially not without permission!

I’d put the key somewhere else for a start and next time they enter without permission that’s actually break and enter without a key.
Change the locks& don’t leave the key hidden anymore. Id also be telling her that if she enters again, without your permission that she will be arrested for breaking & entering. Also, I’d be thinking about putting cameras up (ring’s doorbell alarm, momentum, etc… one of them-they connect to an app on your phone that would alert you)

File a police report, change locks, don’t hide the spare key. Wear it on a chain around your neck! It worked for me for years. Did your bf tell her to come back later and lock up as he left? If so, police report. They’ll know where to look if anything happens again. Guided tour my butt! They were pilfering!

Don’t have a hidden key tell family members they have to make 5 hours in advance to come to your house. You can make some excuse of it needs to be clean
Well , first I’d say how wonderful that your family feels so welcome to stop over when ever. 
sad now because you feel violated. Why has this happened to our families 
I’d get the locks changed, that’s intrusive and icky. Just a big ol no for me, not ok at all.

Sometimes when it comes to family we truly have to ask ourselves is it worth a fight cause most of the time these same people will be the ones that are there for you when no one else will. Be patient and understanding, they could j uh st be really proud of you and for you.

Not okay, establish firm boundaries, you pay for it not them.
If you dont want them there without you or your other half there then tell them and change the locks
I’d have a family sit down and tell them they are forbidden to enter your home without you or your b/f there. Then I’d change the locks and not leave a key anywhere. Or if you can afford it, get one of those ring doorbells that hook up to your cell phone. It notifies you if someone is trying to get in.
I love this page but threats of violence and calling the cops on family who knew where the key was are a bit over the top for even me. Talking to them would be a good start.

My mother in law did this also and would take our dog for a “walk” without us knowing (I thought our dog was getting out) until one day I was home from work sick and I heard the side gate open and I seen her walking in to our house. This happened on a few occasions where we happened to be home… we then ordered a pad lock and didn’t tell anyone (my partner spoke to her about it and told her not to do it) and even after she kept trying. I watched her out my window trying to push the locked gate open. Safe to say my partner was not happy and they ended up having words over it! I think it’s so damn rude!!
Why was she giving someone a guided tour of your home? That’s just weird as hell.

Obviously she has different rules. Most people don’t like people coming over without a warning but my guess she thinks she,s family so it doesn’t count. It’s incredibly rude and I understand your annoyance. Unless you want to cut family ties, take a deep breath. Tell her that you c o not want people coming in without being asked FIRST. Calling to TELL you she,s coming, ready or not. Is not ok. Just ask first.
no access in future and let her know you would appreciate if she visit when you are home; that is rude I would think that key is for emergency purposes but now she has let someone else know so she isn’t trust worthy either

Well you need to not hide a key anymore. Change the locks. And tell her that’s not okay and it better not happen again.

I would be getting rid of the spare key, possibly changing the locks to ensure that my husband and I were the only 2 that had them, and making it known that unless you or your husband is there to open the door for them they are in no way shape or form to be in your house.

Your house key should be on your car key ring, your bf’s keys should be on his car key ring. No extra key for anyone. Always keep your door locked, people from barging in on you is not ok.
Don’t leave the key where they can get them and don’t give them the keys. Tell her please don’t try to go into your house without someone home. Change the locks if you need to and get an alarm system.

Move key and change locks. I live in a house where his family can drop by anytime they want. My side is not allowed on the property. Long story short. 90% of my family is toxic and 1% of his family is toxic. It’s just how it is. If you don’t want your family in your house without you there get an alarm system, keep keys with you and husband, change locks. When they start throwing fits tell them what day you will be home and that when you are you will be happy to give a tour than. If they don’t respect that police can help them respect that
