                                                        Help I Have Locked Myself In

The field inspector had to enter through a fence gate to do the back of the house and enter the house to do a vacant interior inspection. No problem you would think. Well, if something can go wrong it may just happen at the worst moment in your day.

The property inspector took the photos outside the back of the house. As she stood at the backdoor to use her keys to unlock the door, she dropped her keys and they fell down between the cement step and the house foundation where was just a small separation gap.


No problem you would think. She can get another set. All she needs to do is go to her car and figure out what to do. Well, her day got worst. The inspector walked to the fence gate and there it was, no way to open the gate for the fence from the backside. She was locked in the yard behind a 6 ft fence.

So what do you does a property inspector do when she is locked in a backyard and no one else is around? You call you child and leave a message to come to the house and let you out. While you wait, the mortgage inspector saw a neighbor across the street and started calling for him to come let her out.

Laughing, he comes over, she tells him the story and as he is laughing, he opens the gate. Then he tells her to wait and he will try to get her keys for her. After some time and determination of this nice neighbor, he snags the inspectors keys.

All is good, the field inspector thanked him, laughed with him and she was on her way to the next house.

Moral of this story is: Carry an extra set of keys or inspect gates on both sides before going through
