Breaking and entering

Day 378 of 1000

Kelly is taking care of the neighbor, Jennifer’s dogs while they are away on vacation.  She did not think she needed a key because they have a keyless way to get into the house.  The problem is that you have to get past two barriers and Kelly armed the second barrier.  We had half the neighbohood out trying to figure out how to get in the house.  We checked all the windows, upstairs and down to see if one was open.  It was locked up tight.  Christian tried to pick the lock with some allen wrenches, but it was one of those really good locks so he didn’t have any luck.

We called the neighbor and she said they did not have a hidden key anywhere and none of the other neighbors had a key either.  We were all hot, sweaty (87 degree weather with 64% humidty), and frustrated because our only option appeared to be to call for a very expensive Labor Day weekend locksmith visit.  Our other neighbor, Michelle said we should try to pick the lock with a credit card, but I said that was not possible because these kinds of good locks have great protection against that sort of thing.  While we were discussing it, Lorena grabbed a credit card and opened the door in less than three minutes.  I do not know if I should be proud or scared.
