I did a silly thing this morning

That is quite a calamity.

Big magnet on a string through the letterbox?

You have to find the person who is watering their plants.

This could turn into a yak shaving episode.

Even better - a big magnet on a string attached to a pole would be better, so you could move the string about to find the keys.

I don't want to worry you but I used to work with an Australian bloke who came to the UK on a holiday and was still here three years later

Could be a main dealer job and good few quid for new set of keys

Would this be the first time you've smashed the neighbour's front doors in?

Why bring Polish people into this?

Are you suggesting that somehow they have these skills?

what about rigging up a device similar to what Javier Bardem used in No Country for Old Men?

go on sultan.i may regret this what did he do

pop a urgent note through letterbox....keyholder to contact u

either a neighbour or relation with a set of keys, popping in

if property is rented..agents will have a spare set of keys

childs fishing net on bendy wire through the letterbox should do the trick...

good luck

Had a similar problem when the dozy postie stuck my passport through next doors while they were away and I needed it a couple of days later. B&E is not as difficult as you would think if you check all doors and windows, you'd be surprised how vulnerable some of them can be left.

new doors & frames all tight shut i'm afraid.house is rented im ringing round a few local agents to see who handles it

How many years are you prepared to do this, before admitting defeat?

you have ye little faith Aunty ...a little patience required I do grant you

just to mention they'd also like the car removing from their driveway before they get back

parked on road,moonie,things are not all bad

Good Job its not friday 13th !

Phone the rozzers and tell them there's a 90 year old woman you think lives there and you haven't seen her in days

A bit of fishing line, lead weight, triple barb hook, (and a bit of stinky mackarel for alibi).

I did something equally as daft. I parked up to post a letter and as I was in a hurry I was a bit distracted. I posted the letter and my bunch of keys as well and had to wait fours hours for the postman to get them back.

Even dafter here....doing a wall tie inspection for a building society.

It was in the middle of a long terrace of identical houses.

I went in the house in question and then took a diagonal line across the open plan grass verge, to get the tackle from my car.

Came back and drilled three holes in the wall and used the "Boroscope".

Put the gear back in the car and came back to speak to the occupant but the door was locked.

Why the hell would they do that when they said "just come in when you're ready"?

I only had drilled the house next door!!!
