o believe someone feeding our pet for 2 days does not have to go into every room in the house

ok, so I am often asked to feed my neighbours cats when they are away, no problem, she gives me the key. I pop in feed the cats in the morning and call in at dinner time and get them in and feed them , no problem. I sometimes bring my youngest daughter who stays with me at all times, straight in, straight out.

So we now have a pet rabbit, he has a hutch in the garden and a run in the house to run around. Neighbour offered to feed bunny whilst we were away, great I think. so I give her the keys. My kids and hubbie genuinely have OCD so are a little obsessive about where things are placed etc, not a problem I feel as she will only be popping in to feed rabbit , so no need what so ever to go anywhere else in the house.

Only we arrive home earlier than expected to find her in the house with her daughter ( no problem, lovely to see she has been taking care of bunny) only when she has left we discover she has been on all 3 floors of the house, her daughter has marked the wall s and stuck stickers ever where, has been in my teenage daughters room and emptied her perfumes, stiil stinks of perfume, has been in the other 2 kids rooms and trashed them, also discover someone has been in our bedroom on the middle floor including pulled back bedding etc and go into our study.

Am I being unreasonable in thinking she has abused our privacy?

Goodness, I'm cat sitting for neighbours at the moment and I felt guilty looking for a knife! I go straight in, pick up post and put on dining table, into futility room and wash and refill food bowls and water. Quick glance round to make sure there are no mouse entrails anywhere (although don't know why I bother, would be more inclined to vomit on them than clear them up!) and then gone.

Of course it's a bit idiotic, SoupDrEGGon, but people do do it. I've written down bits of usernames, and password hints, but it's hard work remembering it all! I've given up with one of my financial thingies, and just manage it with paper statements as I can't get through the security process without writing down passwords and user names! Easter Blush

My DS once knocked over a cat waterbowl in a house we were viewing, and I was mortified, but I would bloody hope the estate agent transmitted our apologies rather than hoping the owner would put it down to poltergeists (or, indeed, her own cats...). Pebbles, have you asked for an explanation yet?
