Locked in "the barn." What now? Edit: Freedom!

[D1gger]

So if this has now happened twice, perhaps it is time to install a proper door knob and lock?

I wasn't stuck with no direct means of communication and only the Internet to reach someone twice. I have plenty of options I didn't have then including phone, cellphone, window, laptop (with mic!), microcell, etc. Circumstances will likely never be as they were.

The doors are both larger than a standard door and installing two standard doors would require making a space-wasting frame right down the middle. Even if they were the right size they'd need a frame to latch to which would prevent me from taking furniture and such in and out. I like my large doors.

perhaps he plans to be making some citizen's arrests and/or kidnappings in the future, so he will get use out of a backyard prison.

I thought maybe he was trying to copy olds basement. but using teh shed instead. The games are just to lure people over then he locks them in.

That was the idea but then I got too concerned about what they might do to my precious collection. D:

Just thought I'd mention that she has done it again in the last year but I had my phone and stuff to call her and I have plenty of microUSB chargers for it. I could have sworn that I had updated the old thread but I guess not.



She was born in the 40s.

You'd think in 8 years someone would have rectified the problem with the door handle/lock situation by now.

Dumbass.

I think a former president sums this whole situation up nicely.

"fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

It's NOT a "problem." It's the way it was designed and it works perfectly and the situation will never happen the way it happened ever again and it wouldn't just work with a standard doorknob anyway. I just thought that it was amusing that she once again looked inside, didn't see me, and locked the door (requires a key to lock/unlock).

Heck, I may not have even had to call her (I can't recall): she may even have even called me just after closing it (wondering where I was). After the problem she caused before she knows to at least call me and let me know that I left the door unlocked even if she doesn't see me and truly believes that I'm not there.

Oh, there are plenty of power tools in here. Canned goods + can-opener too.
