This latest intrusion into the family's privacy led Mercedes to leave an angry note at the entrance of the home.
'AUS TV CREW. STOP INVADING OUR PRIVACY,' the note read.

The note was originally addressed to ACA Crew yet had been crossed out and replaced with AUSTV, Herald Sun reported.
'The Indonesian media don't do it but the Australian media crews who are not based here have no respect at times,' an upset Mercedes told News Corporation following the incident.

'I understand it's the media's job but they should have more respect for people's privacy,' she added.
The family have previously voiced their concerns regarding the media intrusion and have informed parole officials of the encroachment.
Schapelle has refrained from leaving the property in recent days as her sister claims the intensity of the coverage is causing her stress and making her afraid.
When officials visited Corby she begged them to help her, telling the Bali corrections chief, Surung Pasaribu, was failing to handle the ordeal and it was causing undue stress.

Mr Pasaribu told News Corporation he had sympathy for Corby and pointed out that she was shaking as he spoke with her on Thursday evening.
Schapelle has continuously had issues with being photographed, a phobia developed in the beginning of her trial and verdict day, along with the chaotic scenes during her release from prison in February 2014.
With her return to Australia impending, officials hinted they may withdraw the need to report to the parole board in an attempt to avoid a media surge and instead complete the necessary paperwork at Immigration.
