Glad to read that you’re still alive after that experience and that you managed to extricate yourself from the house. Plus repair the trousers.

I recall many years ago, the boss at the office where I worked somehow managed to lock the car in the parking space downstairs, with the engine still running! One of those Holden Commodores. I don’t recall how long it took for staff to find out.

@Zealandia Crap Australian car.
I wasn't inside I was perched atop a 10' high gate with steel mesh sticking through my pants. As I physically can no longer do the lift & swivels that we used to do on the gym vaulting horse pommels I had a job extricating myself from the situation.
Then when I walked round the front the gate was still jammed locked. Fortunately I was able to use the steel tip of a nordic walking pole in the car parked in the street to jemmy it sufficiently forward to allow the combination lock to be used to turn the lock open.

@Zealandia Good hunting for the birdies & eagles.
