LOL, That's a simple, elegant, and effective solution.

I had a similar experience.

When I was 17 my father was tired of me violating curfew. One night I came home late and found my room door gone.

There was just a gaping hole where my door used to be.

I took about .5 nanoseconds to contemplate my privacy vs compliance problem and resolve it in favor of compliance.

From that moment on I endeavored to never be late for anything.

"One night I came home late and found my room door gone."

That is a fantastic idea. I have a 13 year old daughter. Thus far, action like that hasn't been necessary, but it's worth keeping it in mind, just in case.
