At 10:05 p.m., a 63-year-old male attended to an apartment unit in the 4800 block of Stanley Street and attempted to use a key to enter his son-in-law’s apartment. The male was advised that the key and lock were giving the son-in-law problems and if this were to happen, to simply pry open the deadlock which would cause minor damage but could be fixed. The male experienced problems and broke open the deadlock only to discover he was in the wrong building and the wrong apartment, which was fortunately empty. The male did the right thing and reported the damage to management and the police, and arranged to pay for the damage. The male went to the next building, right apartment and the key worked fine.
