AITJ for changing my garage code after my brother started using my freezer without asking?

My brother lives about 10 minutes away and a few weeks ago his freezer stopped working. He asked if he could put two frozen turkeys in the chest freezer in my garage for a couple days. I was at work so I gave him the garage code and said sure.

The turkeys left, but then other stuff started appearing. Boxes of Costco meat, frozen pizzas, ice cream, random bags of food. I asked him about it and he said his replacement freezer was taking longer than expected and he figured I had space.

I bought that freezer because I started cooking in bulk to save some money, so I actually use most of the space.

Then this weekend I pulled into my driveway and his girlfriend was inside my garage putting more groceries in it. Apparently he gave her my garage code too. She laughed and said something like "this is basically our second freezer now."

That annoyed me way more than the food did. I changed the code that night and texted my brother that he needed to come get everything the next day.

Now he's pissed because some of the food was for his son's birthday and says I embarrassed his girlfriend by suddenly cutting off access. My mom also thinks I made this into a bigger issue than it needed to be since they would have gotten their new freezer eventually.

I don't really care about letting him use the freezer for a little while. It's the fact that my garage code got passed to someone else without even asking me.

AITJ?
