I'm Locked Out

Oh no! Is there no hidden key?

Any windows they leave unlocked on the second floor? I remember having a trashcan I would stand on and kinda shimmy up the rest of the way when I was a teenager/well into adulthood.

So grandma has no key either? Least you have company but what a bummer.

I have broken into my house more than once (my current house only once). I broke the handle on my sliding glass door because it was replaceable. It was nerve-wracking though because it could have broken the glass.

That reminds me, sometimes you can lift a sliding glass door out of the frame. And sometimes you can do that with sliding windows.

In other houses I've slid the credit card into the door frame and pushed it open. That doesn't work on deadlocks, obviously. And I found out here trying to use it that the door frame doesn't allow a card to go straight in.

Older locks on old windows are often easily opened with a little pushing on the window frame until the turning thing goes under the fixed lock thing and you can then push the window open.

Mountain lion going around!?

Holy !@#$

That's not good.

At least you have some company now with your grandma. Can you not contact your parents/siblings via phone or internet? You can get on here just fine...

Glad the cougar didn't show.

Sat Nam! (Literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)

Glad you're safe now.
