That is one of those expensive lessons where you won't ever let that happen again.
I leave extra keys in a location where I can tell someone to bring them to me. Even that is a pain for the person who has to take time to retrieve them for me.
A little armchair quarterbacking 20/20 hindsight....
For $268 buy a cordless drill and some bits and drill the hell out of the locks until they cry uncle.
Or break a window like you mentioned.
If only my drill wasn't INSIDE the house at the time, lol.
And I made a mistake....it was actually $265. Not that I feel any better about that....
On an off-note, I got an emailed receipt from the guys who did it.
And that's great. Very nice.
Except for one thing......I never gave them my email address.
Apparently, this is a big problem with Squareup, which is the program/app/system/whatever that they used. Now my email is stored with these people, and I don't even know how they got it.
What a great night....
