My LPT? Relax. Is this a normal person that your family know well (even if you don’t)? The vibe I getting from you is that this is not a good person. Is that true? Or are you just being paranoid? If the former, relax. They’ll probably be very appreciative and respectful of your house.
If you have serious things of value, yes lock them up (I have a small fireproof safe for stuff like that. I highly recommend it). But taping your fridge? Seriously? Who cares if they open you fridge for a glass of OJ or make a sandwhich? I know you’re doing them a favor, but they’re a guest, show some level of hospitality.
If you have reason to not trust this person specifically, then tell them they need a hotel. But if not, know that most people are kind and respectful, and will be appreciative of a place to sleep before catching an early flight. As much as the work can sometimes be a scary and dark place, most people are honest, and caring, and respectful. I don’t think you have anything to fearz
