Locked Out!!

I am not impressed. People are not all that helpful. I wanted to find out what to do if one gets locked out of their home where there is no person w/ keys to contact. If I was actually locked out, I'd have no access to the internet, the phone book, or such. So, who would I call? Police would be the first on my mind. BYU Police had no idea how to respond to such a question. The Provo Police would not answer their phones ... do they have a 24/7 number?!?! I'd never call 911 unless it was a true life or death emergency because otherwise, they aren't all that patient... Apparently there is a 411 number?!? I don't know anything about it, so that has not be tested. So, what have I learned, put a 24/7 locksmith number in your contact list. They don't sound happy or cooperative on the phone, but at least they can send a tech out. Of course they won't tell you how much it costs, but it's better then nothin' if no friends exist and it's COLD outside.

BTW, I was not locked out, but I was helping out a friend who was. I was curious how to get back into a home in such an occurrence so I made the phone calls while my roommate and friend were moral support. It ticks me off that people aren't all that nice over the phone. They didn't say anything rude, but the tone of voice says much. Of course, it is 11:30pm. Maybe that factors into it ... BUT STILL!!! What does someone do if they are LOCKED OUT!!!
