Q: Key duplication fraudulent
I bought security locks for my home from a company named BiLock. In order to get a duplicate key you must send a written authorization. I was at my parents home recuperating from surgeries on my leg. Oddly my driver license went missing for a short while and the card with the key code was missing until it “magically appeared “ again recently with paperwork in a folder along with my lease for a rental home I own. It appeared months after I had returned home.
I believe a duplicate was made without my permission by requesting the key online, filling out a paper authorization form which required my signature and a copy of my drivers license. I have written to the company for any aperwork pertaining to this
Ibelive this was done by my brother at the behest of my mother.
What legal statutes apply to forging a duplication authorization without my knowledge, and what of using a stolen key to enter my home without any permission and without my knowledge?
A:
I suggest you contact your local police department. Let them handle it, and they'll also make a report of your concerns. While you're doing that, change your locks again for your own peace of mind.
Best of luck!
