My brother used to steal from me, a lot. After countless beatings didn't discourage this, I bought a lock for my room, I was about 17 at the time, and he was 12. The lock didn't really do anything, it just made him work a little harder to get at my stuff. So I moved out. That was the only reason I've ever felt I've needed to lock my room.
A friend of mine has parents who loved to snoop around though, they were shameless about it too. Not a week went by where "the dog" didn't find something that was stuck on a high shelf, or between some books. "The dog" once found some 'magic love powder' left over from when my friend went through a wiccan phase, her parents freaked out, thinking it was cocaine.
I guess the point I'm making here is, if you're a parent, don't snoop or your children will never trust you. And if you're a child, and want your privacy, get your own place, it's the only way to make sure.
