An Unintentional Break-in

The narrative begins with a humorous account of a caller who accidentally finds himself in a locked building after a night out. Despite attempting to use his maxed-out credit card on various RFID locks, he only manages to unlock one entrance, which leads him to wander through the halls until security intervenes. As he faces a potential charge of breaking and entering, he explains to the police that he did not break anything; the door was simply unlocked when he pulled it open. This incident raises questions about the security system and how a simple action could lead to such a misunderstanding.
