I'm a professional. this only happened to me once because woman was rushing for her date and insisted the key worked. it didn't. (plus she forgot to pay me!)
One of my neighbors used to have a key. But just 3 weeks ago I had to have the lock changed after my key disappeared in strange circumstances. That day I tested all the new keys, so I didn't test it again before handing it to the cat sitter. My bad.
If the basement window hadn't been unlocked, I was going to call the locksmith in the morning as they keep records on all the locks they install and could have made a new key. Don't worry, the cats weren't going to starve.
Kipper, I think it took me less time to get to Florida than my last drive to York County took.
