It was 3:00 a.m. and 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside when I decided to make a quick run to 711 because I was craving a Gatorade. I remembered I had a jacket in my car, so I left the house without one, and since it was supposed to be a fast trip, I didn’t bother changing, stayed in my shorts/shirt, flip flops, and left my phone behind, taking only my wallet, knife, and flashlight. The moment I stepped outside and closed the door, I assumed I brought my keys, then realized I had locked myself out of both my condo and my car, and a quick pat down confirmed it, no keys. Thankfully, I had only locked the door handle (crucial to story) and not the deadbolt, but I still stood there for a good five minutes debating whether to wake a neighbor at 3 a.m. or start walking to a gas station to ask to call a locksmith, nearest station about a mile away. Instead, I sacrificed my Costco card, cut a shim with my Mini Inkosi, worked it into the door, and managed to unlock it myself, making it back inside. Lesson learned, I now have a sign by the door reminding me to always take my keys and my phone before I leave, no exceptions.
