How to get key from Absentee Owner

Question

How do I get the access the property from  a absentee owner

Ned Carey · Answer

The first house I tried to break into a house a cop car drove by and we froze. The cops didn't even look as they drove by.

More recently cop showed up and I was explaining I was the new owner and he said he had to wait for his partner.

Two more cars showed up. The most experienced cop said you don't need to worry. People trying to break in illegally don't do it in the middle of the day, through the front door and they certainly don't bring replacement locks.

If you break in make certain you have permission.

That said once you do a locksmith is 125 to rekey a door and a new lock and large pipewrench is about 50 bucks. your choice.. Take the piperench and affix it to the lock and turn...

Its been a long time since I haven't been able to jimmy a door with a credit card or wiggle a slider to unlatch it, even box knife will do the trick most of them time...

Wow very strong ideas. Thanks for the value

That could result in a very exciting experience, even with permission.

Simply ask the owner "how do I get in?"

"Is there someone local with a key?"

"Can you mail me a key?"

"Can I use my own creativity to get in the property?"

I have broken into many a house with the owners permision

They should have relatives that can show you the property.
