Just opened a can of beer last night had one sip and the phone rings, my son, his mate has got his car locked in a car park so can I come and pick the lock.
Me...No, cant do without permission.
Son the caretaker has agreed and we can even use bolt cutters if necessary.
Me ok will be there in 10 minutes.
Unknown to me they were going for the bolt cutters until my son suggested I may be able to pick it, I know most of their friends and apparently they were getting excited and having a laugh at sons dad coming over to pick the lock, but it was getting out of hand as they had by now in their enthusiasm set up a video camera and one was going to act as an interviewer while I did the job. Before leaving home I done a quick check on the lock and it was a 4-pin low security ( STA-LOK) by all accounts so I was confident.
Anyhow by the time I got there the caretaker had found the keyholder and the gate was open, apparently they tried to talk the keyholder out of opening it until I got there but he was having none of it.
After finding out they were going to video me I am pleased they got the gate opened as I think I was destined for utube that night either to mock my failure or to show off my success....it was a close shave

I'd say you certainly lucked out there, Scudo.
