stupidity for sale: $60

yesterday morning, at 8:40 am, i locked myself out of my brother's house.
with my dog.
in my pajamas.
no brushed teeth.
they are in hawaii and i just wanted to sleep there, get up, run around and have a morning getting things done in their city that i can't get done in mine.
not so much.
i forgot that the bottom handle FEELS like it's unlocked from the inside (where one USUALLY checks the door, but it's a bad habit) when it's still locked.
so, i looked at all the usual places and tried keys that were hidden in the back outside storage area (they didn't work).
tried to knock on the neighbor's door. she didn't hear. then, by an act of God, the new neighbors were on their way to church and they let me borrow the phone to call the locksmith (who demanded, upon arrival, my photo ID with that physical address - mine is from OHIO still - and cash or a check with that physical address listed - again, not possible).
so i waited it out on the front step for about an hour. and he came and jiggled the lock ever so slightly and let me in. where i had to prove my relation to my brother. but - REALLY - my STUFF was inside and i had a key that would work on the lock and there are pictures of me inside.
why would a criminal lock their stuff inside the house? and rig it with photos of herself?
i also had to show my ID with my last name and a piece of mail with my brother's same last name. i do NOT want to know what would have happened had i been married with a different last name. or, say, it was my sister with a different last name, etc.
then, he followed me to the ATM so i could get him the sixty whole dollars the whole fiasco cost. but i was just thankful to be able to be inside once again.
also - what keeps locksmiths from simply breaking into any house they want?
just a thought. (something like they are "bonded" - but i'm not positive what that means and i'm afraid to type in "bonded" into google)
what a morning!
