Hm I doubt whether multi millionaire Joe Tate would be bothered about saving a few quid on not bothering to get the locks changed on his mansion especially with all the expensive gear and confidential stuff he has in there. He has installed a state of the art survelliance system but doesn't get the locks changed? Doesn't make any sense. But its soap law contrivance that everyone and anyone can just walk into someone else's home at any given time as bizarrely the doors are never ever locked, usually to witness, overhear or do something that they shouldn't.  I agree that money would be no object but since Rebecca clearly can get in without breaking and entering, it is as good as explanation as any other. In fact, given they were emigrating, and Joe knew that, maybe he thought there wouldn't be any need to change locks even before the accident? As a matter of interest, is it normal to change all the locks when buying a house? I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely don't know as all the house buys I have been.involved with have been new builds. I'd have thought the assumption was that the seller does give up all the keys to the property (same as when you sell a car) and that should a burglary happen without forced entry, the previous owners would be top of the list to give to the Police as suspects. |

I've never changed the locks in any of the houses/flats I have owned and they have all been second hand. I think it's something called 'Trust'. |

My last house move was delayed due to issues moving the funds along the chain so the new owner was waiting outside and she was homophobic to my friend Chris who was helping us move the furniture to the new place. I therefore accidentally forgot to hand over the spare keys to the house and chucked them in a litter bin nearby. As the house had upvc doors and windows I hope it cost her a small fortune to get copies or new locks sorted.

I've never changed the locks in any of the houses/flats I have owned and they have all been second hand. I think it's something called 'Trust'. Actually, thinking about it, my parents in law have bought two 'used' houses since I've k.own them and I don't think they changed the locks. I can't remember any friend doing so either. I think there does have to be a certain amount of trust involved in these things. When I first learnt to drive, I had a 3rd key cut for my Mum's car (which I was allowed unlimited use of) & when my Dad sold it some years later (after I'd bought my.own car and moved out) he either didn't know or had forgotten there was a 3rd key and just gave the new owners the 2 originals. So I retained a key for a car np.longer owned by a family member and could, technically, have just driven off in it if I'd happened on it parked somewhere. But of course I never would have. Same with houses in most cases I would think. Perhaps using common sense as to who the previous owners were, how long they'd lived there, how many people had access etc. It would probably be a bit different if the house had previously been rented out, say as a house share for students, in which case there could be dozens of keys floating about. |

What Jaw Tit needs to do is install entry locks with a keypad. He`s got enough dosh to do it.
He knows more than anyone what the Dangleys are capable of.

The dragon changed the locks on me once.
A few nights sleeping in the shed and hanging around the garden looking pathetic & coughing weakened her.

Thanks KK for making that a bit clearer... Don't trust him Kitty, the only thing Chas is imagining seeing a bit clearer is your rack. |

Not wanting to be a clever clogs BB... But I think Lawrence had the CCTV installed... I remember the guy who was helping Joe, installed it...
It was only when Joe asked him what other services he offered... That I remembered...

I'm more than positive that the woman we bought this house from kept a set of keys...
This was 17 years ago now so I imagine she's karked it...
But she used knock on and when we opened the door she would stand there crying...
We was in the middle of ripping it apart mind you...
And her husband did drop down dead in the back garden while mowing the lawn...
So understandable I suppose...
But yeah, things used to move around the house when we went out...
And the kids were only little so we had to take them with us...
We thought it was her dead husband...
It was only after we lost some keys and I had to change the locks did it stop happening...
She also went in the shed which was padlocked...
And took a load of home made wine...
Wasn't ours, it must have been hers and she had forgotten it when she moved...
Mad old bint...

Na she`s not a mad bint Charley, probably just a grieving widow who cant`t let go of the past. I can relate to her grief more than most.

But she sold the house to us in 2001... Her husband keeled over in 1980... A few months after they had moved in...

Pretty sure Bex has Transient Amnesia. So, when she went to Home Farm, she had forgotten she no.longer lived there and hid, then attacked Koe because she believed he was an intruder. If I heard somebody break into my house when I was in another room, I don't think I'd just go out to confront them verbally, I'd be more likely to hide until I saw a chance to get out of the house and away from them in case they weren't just a burglar but a rapist and/or killer. Then Id call the Police. Maybe men and women react differently in such situations? She then remembered she lived at Victoria's, forgetting the Home Farm incident. Whatever the medical explanation, it's clearly just a way to have her voluntarily hand Seb.over to Robron "for his own good" so they get their nuclear family without looking bad for taking a woman's child from her. I guess with the crash happening the same day as the Sale, Joe thought it an unnecessary expense to change the locks as even.if the Whites hadn't handed all keys in (as you're meant to) 2 of them were dead (so wouldn't be able to use them), 1 was in a coma (so unable to use them) which just left Lachlan. Then there are the other people that would have keys, cleaners etc. Without a shadow of a doubt. I wondered how they were going to pull it off when she didn't die in the crash, those lovely peeps at ED have just made her barmy instead! Aren't they nice? (sarcasm alert lol!) All those shots we've had of Aaron being a baby whisperer (Seb only settling with him), Aaron carrying the baby and Aaron bouncing the baby. Crikey, he seems to have held that baby more than Robert lately! No doubt they'll have Rebecca 'heroically' realising that she can't look after Seb properly and handing him over to Robert - and Aaron, while she quietly leaves the village never to be heard from or mentioned again. Unless Lachlan kills her off before then when she inevitably starts to remember what happened in the car crash ... which would mean Rebecca leaving in a box and Lachlan being banged up for murder. Could go either way I suppose but one thing we're sure of, Robron will get that baby. |

Feck off Gabby, fed up with this tiresome, obnoxious, repetitive little brat.

Couldn't agree more butterball, I'm not even through the episode yet and already I want to burn her at the stake!

Absolutely, how many times do they have to do the alcohol thing with her, and the getting Liv into trouble thing, and the abnoxious thing with Daz? It's all over-played nonsense. In general Emmerdale is best soap atm but this Gabby stuff and the inevitable happening with Rebecca so Robron get 'their' baby in order for them to have their six months of happiness (Happiness on soaps never lasts, I give it six months before RObert cheats or goes back to his old ways). It's all rather drawn out as if they are playing out contracts. If they continue down this road it will deteriorate again. I know some think it already has. |
