Buyer's agent in house without permission

We had a buyer's agent show our house. He or the person he showed it to messed with our TV, Receiver, and our PlayStation 3. They didn't know how to work the system, and they left everything on. We were out of town, and the stuff was left on for three days. They also left all the lights on.
We have in our MLS listing that they have to call prior to the showing. We have a 125 pound lab that needs to relocate to the neighbors house prior to any showing. It isn't a 24 call out. I don't care if they call when they drive into the neighborhood, just give me time to run the dog across the street and leave the house. We do have a lockbox on the house, and we have a realtor.
So we left town again, and we have a neighbor taking care of the dog. The same realtor called for a showing, but when I picked up the phone he hung up on me. A half hour later, another call and hang up. This time I called him back to ask what he wanted. He said he wanted to see the house. It was 5:30. I asked when and he said 5:00. I told him that it was already 5:30 and asked if he still wanted to see it. He said he was in my house! He said the cleaning lady let him in. Then he hung up on me.
My cleaning people come on a different day, so I called the neighbor and she said she was in my house feeding the dog, and the guy unlocked the door with the keybox and let himself in.
So here is my question. Can he just come in my house whenever he feels like it without permission? He scared my neighbor half to death by unlocking the door and walking in. He didn't even ring the doorbell. I realize if I make an issue out of it, it could make anyone scared to show the house, but the guy is rude, a liar, and very disrespectful of my house. I didn't even want the guy in my house without my agent present.
