hello

my parents have boarders stay with them to help them with the mortgage

the issue is they have at least 5 boarders at any given time, and those boarder come and go.

a few years back I was going to their house, and I noticed there was this weird light coming out of the bedroom window in what appeared to be someone using a flashlight, the same bedroom where my mum keep important documents.

when I got to the house, I realized there were only this female boarder home, I was alarmed, especially because I have heard about incidences of identity theft happens to people who are in similar situation as my parents, where boarder stole their identity and took a second mortgage on their house and then simply flee and left the owner in financial strait.

I tried to talk to my parents, but they wont listen, that my parents problem, they don't listen to others advice, I finally talked to few others people including our pastor at the time, and they agreed with me, and they managed to persuade my parents to ask those tenants to leave.

since then my parents have not taken any precaution at all, in fact, my mum still would like to go by "trust basis" and leave her and my dad bedroom door open and unlocked.

my parents worked hard all their life, and they believed in frugality, right now the house they live in makes up most of their asset, and the house itself is in a good neighbourhood worth a considerable amount, which probably make them more attractive to people who are out to try to pull con.....

since my parents never listens, all i can do is ask God to watch over them in this situation.

Please pray for my parents in this situation.

thank you

I wonder if it would hurt to get them a lockbox with some kind of combination or something. Maybe if they get it they will think things over and use it for their identity related items. If they are Christians you might want to quote the verse where we are told not to put YHWH, aka God, to the test and explain that He wants us to be wise as well as trusting in Him. Even if they are not Christians they could understand about wisdom.

Praying for their protection.

It is always better to be generous with ones trust. I think that's how Jesus would prefer us to be... He wants us to have faith in him right, I think he also wants us to have faith in eachother. I admire your parents trusting nature, and I hope they continue along this path... let us instead simply pray that no one takes advantage of them, rather than they change their refreshing and friendly world-view.
