Break and enter

Late yesterday afternoon Hazel and I took our daily walk with our dog.The usual thing is we leave the house by way of our garage locking up behind us and shutting the garage door by using the remote control I then hang the door keys on my belt loop. On returning home 30 minutes later my keys had disappeared from my belt I still had the remote control but no keys which meant I could get into the garage but to gain entry into the house itself I the had to get through one wooden door and one security door. We did by the way have another set of keys they were in Hazel,s handbag safely inside the house. We backtracked along the route we had taken to search for the keys but to no avail and by now it was dusk. the only thing I could think to do was to break in through the doors. The timber one was easy the security one I had to rip from the door frame using a crow bar or as they call them in Australia a wrecking bar. Trying to replace the security door today from our local hardware shop I found was going to very expensive and as the very helpful man in the shop said next time you break into your house just smash a window it works out a lot cheaper. The other part of the story was a young man had already found our keys on the road and having a local real estate phone number attached to the key ring we both had the same idea and phoned them, the result, one returned set of keys.
