Are you locked outside of your apartment ?

At that time I that I was about 10 months old and my mom got herself out of the house — with me still inside.
I have by now heard that so many times. It was definitely a frightening event that will always be alive in my mothers memory, just like it yesterday.

 We all were in a tenement apartment in Redwood City, not far from Redwood City branch of Union Bank and it had 2 distinct doors, a front main door and a garden door that linked to the garage.
On that morning, my ant walked out the other door to hung clothes on the line and soon after she got that shameful clack sound her heart fell right into her stomach.
She had just realized that she didn’t have the apartment keys.

My mother will never fail to remember the vulnerable perception of spotting me at the window, wailing because I couldn’t touch her.
In our street in CA Redwood City, she was friends with most of the people and so my mother had no problem to ask if she can use a neighbour’s phone line to get my big brother’s help. He was working close by and so, he could arrive right away and help us out.
But what can be done when you locked yourself out and your mother does not have a job nearby to you ? Or what about those who are without anyone they know around? Being locked out of the apartment might turn up to anyone, at any hour. It is better that you should never believe that these situations won’t occur to you, regardless of how smart, organized or mindful^ you think you are.
It has occurred to me a few times during the last couple of years and I am certain that if you continue reading, these effective advises will guarantee that you will never get locked out of your home.

An acquaintance of mine from Redwood Shores Parkway always kept her second key below a flower pot in the middle of a group of bushes.
In Redwood City, I stored my spare key in a gap beneath the pretty stone wall outside my yard. 
 Do not even consider to conceal it right where a crook is expected to look, like underneath the front door pot or near the postbox.
