I will teach you how to become the greatest burglar: The other night, I had happened to be out late partying with some friends. I came home at a very early hour, namely, 2am. I pulled into the garage and shut it. When I went to open the door to the house, I found it to be locked. Now, that is partially my fault. I had called my parents and told them I was sleeping over at a friends, so they didn't leave the door unlocked. However I decided to just come home instead of sleeping over. After a curse, I remembered that my parents kept a spare key in the cabinet in our garage. I was saved...or so I thought. I opened the cabinet and looked for the key, but it was missing! I frantically searched the cabinet top to bottom, hoping to find it buried somewhere. But it was nowhere to be found. I was in trouble. I had accidently left my cell phone with a friend earlier that day, so there was no way for me to call for my parents. And anyways, I felt bad about waking my parents up after telling them I was sleeping over. I would have to find a way into the house without disturbing anyone. The only problem... 
The Door! And more importantly... 
The dreaded locked doorknob! Feared by burglars and kidnappers alike! Starting time of Operation Burglar: 2:11 am Now breaking through a door should be easy enough I thought. But the majority of tools in my house are stored in the basement. I had limited tools and supplies to work with. But that would not stopping from breaking into my own house. It was also boiling in my garage, at least 85 degress. I had never picked a lock before, so I wasn't too sure if I would be able to do that. After a moment's thought, I came to realize the hinges of the door were in the garage. I had worked with doors plenty before, and taking doors off of hinges was a field I was experienced in. I would need a screwdiver and a mallet of some kind in order to push the hinges out and remove the door. After searching through my glove compartment in my car, I came across... 
New Item Acquired: Screwdriver A standard Phillip's screwdriver was in my car without my knowledge. But at the moment, I really didn't care how it got there. I only needed some kind of mallet in order to apply the force to remove the hinges. Once again in my glove compartment, there lurked... 
New Item Acquired: Multi-Purpose Hammer At one end of this "hammer" was a sharp blade, I'm assuming to cut things such as paper. The other end, I have no idea what it's use is. I didn't like the choice. I searched around my garage for a better item to use. But I was out of luck this time. I would have to make do with the Multi-Purpose. I began to work on the top hinge. It was a long a painful process as it was hot as hell. After about ten minutes, I had begun to make progress, the hinge was slowly coming out. Things were looking up. I sat down to rest and to mop up the sweat gathered on my head. I looked at the other two hinges on the door. The middle one was the same as the top, but the bottom hinge looked like it would be trouble. The hinge was really wedged in it looked like it was one piece all together. I then started to think that maybe I wouldn't be able to get the bottom hinge out. I quickly started to work on the bottom hinge. Time passed and passed. No progress was being made. The damn hinge was so well in there I couldn't budge it one bit. I kept working, thinking I could eventually get it to move. But I failed over and over again. I needed a new plan. The only other way to get in would be through the doorknob, which meant picking the lock. I had no experience in this field, but with no other options, I had to try. I looked around for some small metal object to stick into the keyhole and pick the lock... 
New Item Acquired: Rakes The prongs on the rakes were perfect for sticking into the doorknob . I began inserting and twisting and turning with the hopes of clicking something. I only managed to damage and wear down the metal inside the keyhole. So I made some progress, but couldn't get through. It was also very awkward holding the whole rake and then turning the whole rake. It was so tiring, I had to find a way to remove a prong from the rake body. Using the Multi-Purpose and the screwdriver I bent the prong until it was able to slide out from the rake body. I had completed another step toward my goal... 
New Item Acquired: Prong I wrapped the cloth, as shown in the pic, around the prong to get a better grip. I ran back to the doorknob , eager to complete my job and get inside. About an hour had passed by now I'm guessing. I started shoving the prong in at random points, hoping for something to click. But nothing happened. I needed some way to look inside the keyhole to see exactly where I need to stick it. The lightbulb in the garage only provided so much light. Searching again through my car, I got... 
New Item Acquired: Flashlight I quickly took a peek into the hole. I realized I'd need to stick the prong in the upper part of the hole and twist it in order to open the door. I pressed my luck. But again, I ran into trouble. The keyhole was slightly too small for the prong. I was unable to get the prong in far enough to do any damage. I would have to find something smaller. I searched around the garage. But I could not find anything small that would be strong enough to penetrate the lock. After digging through the dark corner of the garage, I came upon... 
New Item Acquired: Fencing The wire was small enough, and if needed, I could twist it to enlarge the area of the wire. The fencing was huge though, about 10 feet long, and it was very awkward holding it all, while trying to stick a part of it in a keyhole. Using the Multi-Purpose and the screwdriver I managed to cut off a piece of wire from the fencing... 
New Item Acquired: Wire I now had everything I needed to penetrate the lock. I checked over the lock using the flashlight to figure out my plan of attack. Using the prong in my left hand, I took the wire in my right and proceeded to twist and turn every way possible. After 15 gruelling minutes of pain, I heard a loud click. I had succeeded. I reached for the doorknob and gave it a twist. Sure enough, the door opened, and I felt a wave of cool air engulf me. I could not believe I had broke into our house using only everyday items found in a garage. I had an orgasm and then proceeded up to bed, as I was tired as shit and drenched in sweat from the 2 hours spent in the garage. Ending Time of Operation Burglar: 4:05 am |
