Sounds like the underpants gnomes are moved on. Either that or someone else is living with you and you don't know it.

Seriously though, if you didn't change the locks when you moved in anyone could have a key.

No. Here's the thing, something else freaky happened not too long ago. I came home from a business trip, and all the doors upstairs were open and the attic had been opened and had the lights on. I grabbed my gun out of suitcase and called a friend over. We searched but didn't find out how the crap got open. There is no one that I can think of that has a key. It is possible, but this is an awfully low profile way to fvck with someone, because most people would want to gloat. Shirts in the laundry and messing with the lights and doors upstairs?
If I came home and found that, I would've called the cops right away. You should definitely change the locks too.

Thing is though, there has to be a rational explanation for it other than someone messing with me. I refuse to believe that someone would do things that would very likely be unnoticed by most people. If my friends were messing with me it would be much different.

"I refuse to believe bla blah..." he said, just before the killer shot him in the chest.

Have you ever had visual hallucinations or auditory delusions?

Maybe Mill has multiple personality disorder? One personality fails to know what the others are doing.

Negative to pretty much 90% of what has been said. I have a maid service, but they only have the key for one day and give it back. Also, I see no reason why they'd be the ones responsible, because I just changed services and they only have the key once every two weeks. I really don't think it is my friends, because knowing them, they'd be bragging about it.

No, I don't have multi-personality disorder, nor am I kidding. I don't have a logical explanation as this time, and I may never have one. I can only assume that at various times people left their shirts here, and they some how matriculated into getting washed.

Only other thing I can think of, is that I sometimes leave my house unlocked for a few hours while I'm gone. Low crime area(aka no crime and I sometimes am 5 blocks before I remember I didn't lock the house).

My parents live 100 miles from here, and my brother lives about 700 miles from here. Neither has a key, and I answered you about maids in the post above. No friend should have a key either unless they chloroformed me and made a copy, so I'm still WTF about it all.

New home, so the builder could have a key, but he is done in this subdivison and lives like 40 miles from here. Not only that, but if you met this guy -- you'd realize something like this wouldn't be his bag.

No to both, I refuse to believe something random when there has to be a logical reason.

Maybe old maid service copied the key, and now that you fired them they are fvcking with you?

I really doubt it. The old service never had a key, and not only that but they were some random people from a town 10 miles away. I don't think they'd give a fvck...

There is a HIGHLY probable answer. I WOULD NEVER leave the locks in my new home without rekeying them. IT is SO cheap to do. Just take them to Home Depot.

You would be amazed at who gets keys on job sites. My wife's father is a general contractor. He is very protective of the keys but he has told all sorts of stories about $7/hour employees working for companies like Centex and DRHorton getting the keys. It would allow them to go into every house in a subdivision.

Get your damn locks rekeyed already. It is like $7/lock at home depot.
