I turned off the eco life settings and sims keep coming to my lot to steal stuff all the time. I don't know what else I can do, it's so annoying...

Have you tried the shift-click mailbox solution? You need to play a household that lives on Residential lot in that same neighborhood where you see the problem. When you play their household, shift-click on their mailbox to pull up the instant repeal option.
