How could the locksmith have taken the tapes as was there not an agent with him when He rekeyed and inventoried those items that appeard to be of value worth more than $50?
Here in Texas if the house is still occupied with personal possessions I have the sheriff's deputy meet me at the house at the rekey time and he goes through and checks out what is in the house.
All the time when there are items still in the house, I never enter a house without my assistant with me so that we can be a witness to each other that nothing was ripped off.
BTW, I did catch a locksmith with six near new truck tires, a large BBQ pit, and a probably $500 worth of handtools after he went back to one of my houses the day after he rekeyed it.
