BiL seems to have managed to get the police out. They have said as no evidence of a crime, nothing they can do.
Should we ditch the key safe idea which we got a few months ago as she failed to answer the door or phone on a few occassions
If you lock the door and leaves the keys in the lock, I couldnt open it with keys...but then I am no burglar

I did ask if she may have had a dream that felt real (ive had plenty of those) but that was dismissed.

My mum's got a friend who lives in a council block in Leeds. Last time my folks visited her, she said the Police had tapped her 'phone and others in the block as they were carrying out a sting on drug dealers living there. She'd mentioned the building being infested with dealers previously, coming and goings etc and my parents weren't sure whether to believe it or not. They then thought she'd lost it when she talked about the 'phone tapping.
Anyway ... turned out to be true. Council moved her to a nice old biddies low-rise block as they felt she was vulnerable in the other place.

If you have keys in the back of the door it is possible to open the door. But only if the keys in the back of the door are in the starting position i.e. the position they would be in when you first put the key in the lock.
I hope it was just a dream though !

Mil had condensation running down walls which turned out to be cannabis factory in attic next door. Every now and then the wildest tales turn out to be true.

We installed cameras for aunt-in-law because of her stories about her neighbour sneaking over in the dead of night and having tapped her 'phone and listened in to every call.
Cameras showed nothing. Ah, but that's because Evil Neighbour (old chap in his eighties, recently widowed) had taken control of the cameras.
Literally everyone in her life has nefarious purposes, she is completely incapable of holding a conversation that doesn't involve long storied about how so-and-so's daughter in law moved so-and-so into a home because she wanted to get her bungalow all to herself and steal everything. Or the chap opposite who used to be the mayor and embezzled money to pay for TWO new kitchens in the last twenty years, and she hasn't had a new kitchen since she moved in over forty years ago, but that what Those Sort Of People (black people) do and nobody qould dare challenge him. (I know the ex - mayor, served on the same governing body for seven years. Lovely hardworking honest man).
Or the nurse up the road, who gets aunt's medical records and shares them with every person in the road.
I spend most of any time with her biting my tongue very hard.
MiL is being a trial today. She's sulking and being very short and snippy but won't say why. It's like having another child to look after.
