First rule of being a first responder: you can’t help anybody if you become a victim.

Worked contract security, including being the night supervisor for a branch office, for years and learned a bunch of ways to get around (usually) office building/business locks. And also how to secure a door in which the locking mechanism has failed.

Had a brand new office building and the jack-ass officer on duty overnight left the keys sitting on the desk when he went out for a smoke (probably around 1 a.m.). And unfortunately the property management hadn’t given our office any keys yet. The officer had already called the on duty facilities engineer and was told to enjoy his night outside because the engineer wasn’t going to come in. That wasn’t really an acceptable outcome, so when I arrived on site I rigged up a device that allowed me to trip the motion sensor inside the door (as a security person I hate those things) and gain access. Just about that time the engineer was pulling up and had witnessed me “breaking into” the building. He had decided that if something happened inside and the guard wasn’t in there, that he, the engineer, would probably get in trouble for not coming down and letting him in. He was pissed that I had bypassed their locked, secure door so easily. I explained how I did it and within a week the configuration of the door had been changed.

The mention of peppermint oil brought this story to mind. It’s kind of a gross one. You’ve been warned.

I made the mistake of locking my keys in the car the week before Christmas in the mall parking lot. That cost me a pretty penny.

You missed the word temporarily. The weren’t removed completely, just taken out of the abdominal cavity for the photo and then put back in.
