Never had a curfew in my life. Apparently I never needed one.

Didn't have a phone until I was about 16 or 17.

Have always maintained a personal computer and am far better with technology than my parents. Spying on that was impossible during my youth when even at 14 years old my mother had to find me so I could reset the router for her.

Hell, I've never had to call home or confirm anything ever. Mostly I remember my mother pitching herself as a last ditch method to get home if I couldn't find a way; never had to do that.

A long time to built a titanium trust between my mother and I.

There's also the distinct possibility that your parents were simply open to the idea that you wouldn't come back.

Changing the locks didn't seem to work

I was the same, never had a curfew... my sister was a completely different matter. I don't know how many times I had to save her ass and cover for her, pick her up when she was drunk, sneak her back home or throw her friends out of the house when my parents were gone.

Once, her friends had made a mess of the place. I had them picking up, cleaning and vacuuming... then I kicked them out.
