Neighbor mistakenly enters wrong home with his own house key and beats 79-year-old man, deputies...

- The key to one home unlocked the door to another house. That’s how Bexar County deputies say a man believed to be intoxicated was able to mistakenly enter the wrong home.
Homeownership 101! When you purchase a home, the first thing you should always do is change the locks.
Facts
@@00kt86 Even with a new build you have to assume the builder and some of the contractors have keys to the house so they could get in and out of the house while they were finishing the work. Plus there's no telling how many copies of keys there are if you're getting them from someone else.
@@queenbee4350keyless deadbolts can stop any sober reasonable person from opening a door.
I absolutely agree. The problem is how many of us think about that?
I, do. I, always change the cylinder.@@tammiep9628
the old victim should sue both,his neighbor and M/I homes
Well how about the key manufacturer? There would be no practical way the home builder would know the keys were duplicate. It's not even thought of, because this just doesn't happen. They were not negligent if the keys were the originals and not copies provided by the builder.
Americans and their lawsuit mentalities, the world feels much shame for your people.
Who would pay the cost of lawyer and court fees?
@@yellowbird5411
It's not only the keys it's the mechanism in the door locks, there shouldn't be two same door locks in the same area. Some years ago it was found out by coincidence that cars in different cities had the same door locks. I wonder how that turned out !
cheap locks,good locks are more expensive with special keys wich you cannot duplicate easy
@@yellowbird5411
But why TF would you attack a 79 year old man? What a coward!
Alcohol
He probably thought was a squatter or a burglar
He was drunk and thought it was his own house since the key worked on the lock. The outside of the houses look similar.
In the Levittown subdivisions built after WWII for the troops coming home, every house looked alike and was planned down to the last stick of trim similarly, and with the identically situated baby sycamore tree planted in the front yard.
@@trecm734 that is still the wrong way to react.
Imagine finding a 79-Year-Old Burglar in your house, administering a beatdown, and then you notice that you're absent from all of the family photos decorating the house.
I have never heard of anyone having a punching bag station and full sized dry erase board for trig. Not to mention my DOG!
MF must be a time traveler trying to replace me!
@@theprophetofhate7188 Tell it to the Judge🧑🏻⚖️🧑🏻⚖️🧑🏻⚖️
Worse yet, imagine finding that you ARE in the photos...
If you're drunk enough to not be able to identify your own home, you have a bigger problem than needing new locks on your house. Did this fool drive that night? Christ.
You must be Catholic. That's their favorite cuss word.
Yeah, he couldn't remember where he parked, luckily his keys worked on a similar model car so he could get home
I personally don't believe in this drunk story. I think this was planned by him intentionally. He made another key that get into that house so he could beat the elderly man up over some grievances he had with him in the past. 😏
Quite often, houses in new developments look like they were stamped out by cookie cutters. When I lived in a townhouse, we had six nearly identical courts. It wasn't uncommon to see new residents pull into the wrong court, park, look around in a confused manner, and then pull out.
@@Tom-sg4iv LMAO
Can you imagine the trauma for this poor elderly man . Drunks are horrible
Yes, I hate drunks!!!
The drunk is lucky the victim didn't very rightfully exercise his 2nd amendment rights.
I resemble that remark
@@userbosco You're a drunk? If so, that's really sad. Maybe consider changing your lifestyle.
Thank God no guns were used.
That builder literally did "CTRL C, CTRL V" to the whole neighborhood. SMH
I don't care if he could get in the other house with his own key, or that he was drunk. This guy needs to be locked up for aggravated assault.
You opened the wrong house , beat the man living there and didn't notice that it wasn't your furniture and pictures on the wall ? 😂
Go to Jail
Go directly to Jail
he was drunk
squatters rights!
@@watjejanssen7535 I HAVE SEEN MANY DRUNKS IN AN ER AS A NURSE, AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR BASE INFORMATION, THEY MAY REPEAT IT A DOZEN TIMES BUT THEY STILL KNOW IT. AND THEY ALSO KNOW FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHEN THEY ARRIVE, SO IMPRINTED MEMORY STAYS.........
You walk into "your" home drunk and see an old man. You're not going to see anything other than that someone in "your" home. You won't be looking for pictures of grandma or if the drapes look different. I could see a problem with the story if the floor plan was different but if the house looks the same on the outside, the key fits the lock, and the layout is the same, the old man would be perceived as the intruder to the drunk
@@fauxque5057
Correct, besides when drunk people " enters " their own home usually they don't turn on the lights so not to wake-up the rest of the household.
And alcohol strikes again - yet people are blaming a key!
Alcohol is a friend... with a knife.
'WE' should ban alcohol... The Mob needs work.
Banning alcohol didn't work out the FIRST time.
Why blame either one? It was the assailant that chose to over indulge. A person who simply had a couple of drinks and no more would have realized that something wasn't right much sooner and perhaps not made that "mistake" to begin with. Alcohol did not make him literally beat up an old person.
I agree! Was this guy driving too?
Hope the old man recovers so he can sue both the drunk and the home builder for damages.
All the houses in the neighborhood have the same lock. This is something only a drunk would discover. So... people should actually be thanking this man for his intoxication, since nobody died. Now people can protect themselves and sue the building company for money.
People should be thanking him? Ok 😂 tf you on ?
Assault against a senior citizen is a felony.
Plus you know he drove home drunk.
Probably depends on the state. Every one has different penal codes.
@@Alien_isolationist in his state it is.
@@01denese Apparently the police report says he took an Uber home. Some guy in the comments says so, anyway. I hope it's true.
Assault against anyone is a felony. This I believe was a very stupid mistake and the man was not in his right mind because he was intoxicated with Alcohol. Now if he is like this sober, then obviously we have a serious problem. Hopefully this man does the right thing and apologize and assists in the cost of his medical bills.
Locksmith here. Here's what prob happened. Developer hires contractor to build the houses. The contractor hires sub-contractors to handle various parts of the job (framers, roofers, plumbers, etc). Whoever was in charge of installing the locks, ordered them through a building supply company. But did not specify "keyed differently". If you don't specify, you will get kinda random. But not that random. Lock manufacturers will make quite a few "keyed alike" in every batch so people that want to have the same key for their front & back doors can just compare codes on the box.
So, building supply has a pallet of locks, some of them keyed alike & some keyed different. Sub contractor prob never said they wanted keyed different, or if they did, then building supply screwed up the order.
I don't have access to any of the records, so this is just best guess.
Thanks very much! Good to know info!
While the case does sound pretty brutal, in reality how many different combinations can be set with key locks? How many pins are in each lock, five? How much travel does each pin have, three or four placements? Out of millions of locks sold, there’s bound to be duplicates out there. The odds of this happening, where two identical sets end up on the same street doors apart is probably very rare.
I removed hearing a story once years ago where a person’s boat was stolen at a marina. But it turns out that there were two alike boats, which coincidentally had the same key combination for the ignition. The guy that took the boat did so by an honest mistake.
thank you for explaining this, this is very helpful to know
It’s still the business of the property owner or management to make sure all the locks work with different keys. Especially if it’s like most states where tenants changing the locks on a rental is illegal.
Yep, this happened to me once, identical house one block over, not drunk, they were just so similar and I was new and it was at dusk. Unlocked the door and walked in, took one look around, and left.
um ... what about the guy who attacked the 79 yr old man? He should be charged with assault & battery.
I am so freaking sick of DRUNKS NEVER REALLY having to take ACCOUNTABILITY for their actions!!!!😤😡
They aren't defending the drunk. He's getting charged with the crime what else would accountability look like? The concern is that his key opened someone else's house. The story is about the security aspect, the drunk is auxiliary to that story.
@BreakfastItem
First, allow me to respond in kind to your comment about MY comment. I NEVER SAID that ANYONE was defending the DRUNK. 2. NO WHERE in this 2:30 clip, does it specify ANY CHARGES for said "drunk". I am aware of the subject matter of this story being security concerns regarding the builders' negligence in using the same locks for these homes. Now, having gotten the story comprehension part clarified for you, allow me to address that, I can comment on WHATEVER ASPECT I CHOOSE. It's a benefit of free speech and PERSONAL OPINION. I DON'T have to adhere to YOUR NARRATIVE, nor do I have to explain my PERSONAL FEELINGS to YOU. Perhaps it would be a better idea to address those security questions, concerns with M.I. Homes. Apparently, the news station reporters are still waiting for their answers as well. Have a nice day! 🤗
@@Lilith_Nightshade Good day to you as well! I believe the moment you were looking for is at around 0:57 "charged with injury to an elderly person".
@@BreakfastItem I wasn't looking for that moment because it was NOT THAT moment that I commented on. YOU DID. I commented on the DRUNK and MY THOUGHTS about THAT. The rest is for YOU to concern yourself with. I said what I said and meant it. Yes, I am having a good day, thank you!
@@Lilith_Nightshade you're welcome
I don't think I would attack a 70 year old burglar ?
If I genuinely thought I was in my home and they were trying to physically force me out I might to some degree.
When people get drunk enough, they may not remember what they did. As far as keys opening doors that they shouldn't, it is a true statement to say it happens. Their are a finite number of key combinations. It is going to happen occasionally. That's why you should have a keyless deadbolt on the inside of your home. Things like this are less likely to happen.
You're probably not a man then
I also dont think you would enter the wrong home. same key or not.
@petewilcox3354 this is true
I lived in a rental house and found out the owner used the same key for every house!!!
A convenience only to them! So they didn't have to manage several keys. Bare minimum work for a greater return on investment. No effort to give renters peace of mind
I was on a road trip with another vehicle, they needed rest so we got a motel room, I messed up with the numbers on the doors and the electronic key opened someone else's room! Sleep tight... Big time cheap home builders, I used to do thousands of swimming pools and I need power and water, brand new house didn't have any, front nor back yard, so I asked the owners, five minute later the builder was in my face extremely pissed that I reveled his omission to save $!
The owner of the rentals may have had a master key system where his one key opens all of the locks at all rentals, with the rentals all being keyed differently. Or it’s possible that the owner was stupid and had all the rentals keyed identically - but that would take a special kind of stupid.
@@bardmadsen6956 - some electronic locks can be defeated in far simpler ways. Some you don’t even have to get the combination in the right order, just get the right digits.
that's scary!!
The man should be charged for assaulting a poor elderly person in their own home.
Nah it's just an honest mistake
Ummm, he was. It's in the video.
That guy should be charged with assault on an elderly person , illegal entry , trespassing on someone else property .
They are talking about locks, but why would the guy attack a 79 year old person?
He thought the guy was an intruder.
Too drunk to notice. Drove home like that too.
I’m guessing he was an off-duty cop. They have the hardest time finding correct addresses. Even their own.

The poor homeowner! Broken ribs are terribly painful.
And seniors do not heal well even if they heal at all. It can be a death sentence for him.

That's what I was thinking -- this could eventually turn into a manslaughter or murder charge.
And can heal for over a year at his age.
Drunk but able to walk up to the door, get his keys from his pocket, open the door, and proceed w a beatdown of an elderly man. Sure
My old next door neighbor use to get drunk every now and then. Came to our house more than once to get someone to unlock his door for him. Try as he might he could not get the key in his lock. Nice man.
Yup
shut up..quit reaching...
Easy peasy if you're a professional drunk. Or use the old W.C. Fields inverted funnel trick.
It does happen actually. A guy showed up at our door in the middle of the night, he couldn’t open the door cause the lock was not matching. He was banging the door & shouting, thinking it’s his house. I was very small 4-5 years old, but i still remember that night. My dad got very angry
This happened to me once. All the streets and houses looked the same, and I went one street over. The door opened fine with my key, I walked in, and was confused for a few seconds. I didn't attack any "intruders," the lights were out with no one home, but I did get out quick! No one was the wiser.
EDIT: I wasn't drunk, but the place was very new to me.
did you at least lock the door before you left
It's not possible. As soon as you enter the home, you know that everything looks different
I would immediately change the lock of my house, period!
EVERYONE in that neighborhood should, just to be on the safe side. Not to mention, this guy may mistake another house for his, and his key may open their lock as well.
Duh. Really?
Bet the local locksmith is making a ton of money in that whole neighborhood about now ...
And sneaking pairs in again.
The key has nothing to do with this lol. Awful reporting. This has to do w a drunken oaf who put another man through a traumatic experience. Highlight the fact that alcohol once again has caused another terrible situation.
The key does have somthing to do with it you buffoon. That's why it's journalism, because they include all the important details rather than painting a picture of propaganda.
..and if the lock had been keyed differently this would have never happened.
@@JohnDoe-ld8nr and if the oaf was conscious enough to realize he was in the wrong home, this wouldn't have happened
I'm thinking about the bad guy who hears this news, and decides to try his key out on the entire neighborhood.
Regardless if the key opened someone else's house, if the guy cannot distinguish his home from someone else's, and he enters it enraged enough to harm the homeowner, he shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets.
I agree with you
Did he not recognize that the interior furnishings were different ?
He probably couldn't count to 4 or sing his abc's, let alone tell that the interior of the house is different.
Obviously he didn't
@@DTS24-DJT24😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was too drunk to notice. Probably drove home in that state as well. Can you say DUI.
drunks don't notice things.
why would you attack a 79yo person?
If I entered the wrong home, I would immediately realize it wasn't mine because it wouldn't be furnished like mine. Everything would be different.
Not if you were super drunk.
@@TheTrueOnyxRose He was sober enough to beat up an old man, so he wasn't super drunk.
Drunk brains do not process like sober ones. You cannot expect normal thought processes from them.
@@radolfkalis4041 He could visibly see he was in the wrong home, no thought process needed.
@@standdown4929 you obviously have never dealt with hardcore drinkers. The brain does not function normally, you do not see or process information normally. My bf father lives with is, he has been heavily drinking for 60 years. Let's give you an example of how the drunken brain processes things. He was SO drunk one night he got off the bus at the wrong stop, and started walking down a freeway onramp thinking it was our driveway. The driveway attached to the house he has lived in for FORTY years. The only reason he did not walk down onto the freeway is he called my bf and asked him why so many cars were driving thru the driveway so fast. THAT is how a drunken brain can process things.
He needs to sue that neighbor.
negative. sue the builders just like the news people said every house on that street probably has the same damn lock in it unless the house buyers have changed them out themselves
@@davidkesterson no.... Sue that jerk who beat him up. Everyone with common sense knows how locks works... When you go to the store to buy new locks for your house you look for matching numbers so you only will have one set of keys, not 2 or 3 different ones.

He thought it was his home, but come on man, a 79 year old. I don’t think he need it to get beat up. Even if he was an intruder. 79 years old
No way did he thonk that was hos home! The furnishings, wall decor, color scheme would be entirely different. It would immediately feel different.
No way!
He thought it was a squatter with huge rights over the owner thing and was confused without relief in the most stressful land of the world. Sorry but this time we have to have compassion by weighing both sides of the argument instead of taking sides for some unknown reason.
There was a similar case in Dallas a few years ago. Except it was a cop that entered the wrong place.
@@eddiemiles6943I remember that. I didn't believe their story.
he was drunk
Yup.
Drunk people do stupid s***.
I had an alcoholic neighbor in my college apartment. He accidentally stumbled into my home twice. Recognized right away, and, terrified, stumbled right on out.
At least he wasn’t aggressive
Unless you changed the locks yourself, *you have no idea who might have a key to your home.*
Unacceptable and unforgivable
I once had a 1979 Subaru Wagon and my mom had a 1984 Subaru and the keys matched.
Living the dream!
A kicker for the Minnesota Vikings drove his mother in laws mini van to a store. When he left his key opened and started a similar mini van. The police stopped him and had him cuffed up. He explained his story to the police and sure enough his mother in laws van was still in the parking lot.
Not only keys, but I've also seen and heard of situations where a fob for one car also worked on other cars. That's actually kind of scary. Can be pretty confusing too now that so many cars look alike, both in color and style. A lot less variety these days than we use to have. Paint color alone has totally lost its options. It's turned into mostly a black, white and silver world. Occasionally a blue or red and maybe a green. Boring.
That actually makes sense though, because there are only so many key configuration. After so long they have no choice but to use same key code again in newer models.
@@astridgalactic9336Where do you live? I see all colors everywhere I've been..
Sounds really stupid. The guy did not realize that the entire inside and furnishings were different? Bull.
Depends on how far in he got. If there was a foyer, maybe not far. And new homes tend to have limited paint choices, so it could have looked very similar.
Exactly! I don't know what he drank, but if it makes you incapable of knowing your own home, then I would stay clear of it!!
Sounds like he did a little more than alcohol to be that out of it!!
Hopefully the old man will now own 2 homes after winning his lawsuit
The "I was drunk/high" defense doesn't cut it in court. It's called "voluntary intoxication" and you become responsible for your actions because you chose to intoxicate yourself and it resulted in a criminal offense.
"If I'm living in that neighbourhood I'm wondering..." I'm wondering nothing, I'm on the phone getting my locks changed.
Exactly! Wondering my a** 🤣 they're jokers!
Absolutely.
That guy was dull.
Happened to me, but it was an outdoor storage unit one row over with a masterlock. We opened the door and it was packed with unrecognizable stuff. Surprise! We relocked the door and finally found ours ten feet away, but it was shocking to us it even happened.
I’ve seen locks use same pin numbers. Companies do to it save money.
Woah, I need to start using two different keys for the same door.
master lock master key
It happened to me with another car that looked exactly like mine and it was in the same parking lot. I got in and noticed the stuff inside wasn't mine and the seat was further back than when I drive. I got out and started looking for my car, it was a few rows over.
@@V.E.R.O. Wow WTF this is actually crazy lol
He should be in jail for assault on the elderly ❓❓❓
If you're so drunk that you don't realize that isn't your furniture you should really reconsider your life choices. Not to mention even if the old man broke into his house, why did he feel the need to beat a guy that's almost 80? What type of danger can a man that age pose to a much younger man unless he's holding a gun or something?
Always change your locks-after we got our house and moved in a realtor who had not gotten the news still had a key in the box, unlocked and entered my home for a buyer while I was on the toilet!!!Very scary and then I had to argue with her that the house was no longer for sale. First day, change your locks!
Were you taking a huge dump at the time? I bet you were taking a really huge dump at the time.
Very good to know
When we bought our house, our home warranty allowed us 6 free re-keys. However, the sellers had moved out of state and weren't present for the few months the house was on market. They gave one of the garage openers to the neighbors to have for an emergency to access the house. The neighbors gave that to us a couple months after we were in the house. If they had been dishonest, they could have just had access to our garage indefinitely.
@@shoneycreation3313 It's really easy to recode your door opener too, takes minutes.
Even if the key worked in the lock I doubt the inside looked the same. Being drunk is not an excuse
Always change the locks on newly purchased homes, also I have demanded that locks be changed in rentals before. It’s basic safety
Why would you lay hands on a 80 year old person??? Sounds shady!!
How stupid, drunk or high you need to be not to realize that you are in the wrong place?
LORD HAVE MERCY 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Why was it necessary to beat an almost 80 yr old man so severely, wo cares if he thought the man was trespassing?
This reminds me of the case where a police woman went into the wrong apartment saw a man eating in what she thought was her apartment and shot him. This happened a few years ago.
She wasn't drunk and tell tale signs were at the front door before she entered that it wasn't her apartment. Also, different furnishings etc. She had no excuse.
Like all officer horribly understaffed, she was horribly sleep deprived. I worked civilian manual labor with virtually no sleep, two and three $3/hr jobs at the same time for decades. Sleep deprivation is terrible for anyone.
hate crime. a similar case happened years ago. a "drunk" white man entered a black mans home. shot and killed him. white man walked free.
That was Amber Guyger who is thankfully sitting in prison
That sounds like one pissed off neighbor
How did he not realize he was in the wrong house as soon as he walked in , it's not like they have the same furniture , decor etc .
probably just another run of the mill mouth breather
Did you not watch the video? He was drunk.
Because most drunks are stupid too. Why else would they drink that much to begin with?
Well, don't you know we have squatters problem these days? They broke in and changed everything!
He lied. The old man never locked his door.
People are becoming stupid. If you can't identify your home then you're on a new level
there's always been stupid people. The internet just showcases them so a lot more people are aware of just how prevalent they are.
in the time before computers you would never heard of florida man's crimes. that meme only existed since 2013.
They need to have a key swap block party just to see which keys work on which houses.
Nothing on whether the intruder is behind bars?
No need to attack an old man period.And no one should have the same key.
He can’t recognize the inside of his own house?
79 year old now can sue. Sue everybody.
I have to side with the homeowner only on this. #1 - A 79 year old man is no physical threat to me. #2 - The drunk dude may have made a mistake, but when he opened the door, he should have known from the jump he was not in his own house. #3 - Being drunk is not an excuse! It may be the reason, but it is not an excuse! Drunk or not, everybody is responsible for their own actions! Drunk dude needs to be held accountable. He was wrong!
No, being drunk is not an excuse, and this guy needs to be punished, but drunk brains do not have normal thought processes. It did not say how drunk he was(BAC).

I had that happen with my car back in the early 1970s! My neighbor's dad not only unlocked the car, but drove it home...about 10 miles away. He had a bit too much to drink and kept telling his sober wife, who was telling him they were in the wrong car, that he was crazy. My car was maroon; they had a dark green car. Same model, but different years. He didn't believe her until he looked out the window the next morning. I feel for the man who was beat up and I hope he sues the pants off not only the guy who beat him up, but the place that served him enough to get that drunk. Oh, yes, sue the builder, as well. That should never, ever be able to happen.
That is just crazy what happened with your car!!! Good grief!!
Chief Investigator Sanchez here. I believe there's a crime here where the assailant had kept the Model home key from the Sales Realtor. It can open all the doors in the neighborhood....
I've worked for and with developers for more than 50 years and it's not uncommon for them to master key a new development for ease of access. Always change your locks when you take possession.
In Orange City Fla a man left a store and got in an identical car as his and used his key to start it and drive away. He then noticed some things in the car weren’t his and went back to the store where his actual car was. No one was injured. The Orange City police figured out what happened and did not beat or shoot him for the mistake
Same thing happened to me with a 66MG. Unlocked the door. Got in, started it, fastened my belt, and was backing out when I realized this car had a speedometer. Mine was out being repaired, leaving a huge hole in the dash. My car, British Racing Green--about 90% of '60s MGBs were that color--was about 8 cars down the row.
Police will make any excuse to not respond properly!
Your last sentence was funny.
I was taught Whenever you move always change the locks. I hope the elderly man is doing well.
Step one: Always change the locks when buying a home!
Step two: Don’t buy in an HOA or newer development, they always look the same and have the same details in many cases.
Step three: That elderly man needs to sue for injury!
Oh, yes. This young large drunk gentleman was so terrified by his own 79-year-old neighbor that he felt so threatened that he had to beat the crap out of him and break 3 ribs? 🤷♀️🤦♀️😳🥺

My Dad use to have a 1957 Cadillac who's key would open and start about 95% of all GM cars made back in the day! I discovered this accidently when I turned 15 back in 1965 when I accidently used the Cadillac key to start my 54 Chevy. Then I tested it on a bunch of GM cars and it worked on just about every one I tried! So you never know!
Must be a manufacturer master key
Car was possibly not intended for sale but they did it anyways due to age
lmao the builder created a whole block of homes with the same exact locks.
I remember my dad when we moved he brought his own locks there were like 10 that’s what he did as soon as he got the keys, we all do this in our homes. Be safe out there
Still the WRONG house in the first place. He trespassed into someone else’s home and assaulted him. It’s not the lock.
It is the lock though. The house looked the same, the key opened the lock and the man made a terrible mistake. If the key didn't open the lock, he might have realized it wasn't his home.
@K0nc3pt10n OK but entering what you think is your own home and seeing an obviously elderly man should make any reqsonable person question the situation, and is not an excuse to beat him to a pulp.

Key is no excuse! Once he entered, he should have realized the inside was not the same furniture, decor, etc! Where’d he come from, was he (drunk) driving and let himself into the wrong house? NO empathy for the violent drunk; so awful what that poor elderly man had to endure.
Genuinely shocked and concerned, but it's a great way to stay in shape!
Attacking an old person when your drunk is pathetic and no excuse
From the drunk man's perspective, he came home to an intruder in his house.
Not saying what the drunk man did was right, at all. But c'mon now, don't just pretend this was a drunken guy going on a beating spree.
So the guy who claims he was intoxicated how did he arrive home? Urber or drive himself.......
BS!!!,,really??..he didnt notice anything ones he open the door???
Total BS!!!
A Drunk Texan Trumper, seen a minority in his home and beat him. I seen it before in bars. The drunk said his wallet was stolen and they beat the only blk guy to death. The wallet was in his truck.
Once*, opened*.
YEP, even drunk, THE DECOR, THE SMELL OF YOUR OWN HOME, THIS GUY THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY DRUNK WELL SOMETHING FISHY HERE
@@nunya2954 It is called a blackout or the heebie-jeebies. If you never seen snakes or spiders from drinking, then you don't know how to drink.
@@smokingjoe9864 If he were that drunk he wouldn't have been able to beat that man like he did. I am an retired nurse and I know all about effects of alcohol, as for going there presonally, NOPE, NEVER FELT THE NEED TO DRINK INTO OBLIVIAN AND MAKE AN AZZ OF MYSELF. I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR MY BODY, MY BRAIN, AND ANY FRIENDS OR RELATIVES I MAY HAVE/HAD BEEN OUT WITH THAN TO MAKE AN AZZ/FOOL OUT OF MYSELF. IF HE WAS THAT DRUNK TO SEEING SNAKES/SPIDERS/HEEBIE JEEBIES THEN ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WHEN HE DROVE "HOME" ARE LUCKY HE DIDN'T HIT THEM.
Sounds like the developer saved money by making all the locks identical.
Prayers for the family
Everyone's house has a very unique smell. First thing that hits you when you come home. I call BS.
He was drunk.
Hmmm, how convenient for him to so happen to enter the wrong house and for his keys to so happen to work for that door the night he was intoxicated enough to make such a mistake????? Idk this needs to be investigated.
Let’s talk about the key not the 79 year old who got beat up
He should be arrested for DUI….!!!!!!
Nowhere did it say he was driving, people get DROPPED OFF idiot
There is what is called a "series key." At a high rise complex I managed, the people in work groups were issued a series key, meaning that the office key issued to someone would open every office door in that work group. This was done on purpose in case person A needed to get in person G's office. Everyone was advised of this (and told not to store expensive irreplaceable items in their office) and work groups were 10 to 20 people. The only exception to this was the group's admin (who stored petty cash, debit cards and travel vouchers in her desk). And this happened in a Motel 6 I stayed in once (the manager and I had words about this) when another person was able to unlock my front door (Thank God I had the chain on the door).
This can even happen by purchasing locks at Home Depot or Lowe's as there are match codes on the boxes so you can "same key" multiple locks on your property. How this isn't understood is beyond me. There is a limited number of key imprints per lock type/brand/model.
So he didn’t notice completely different furniture and stuff?! Bs…
If you're buying a new construction home, most likely the key you have is the same as every other house. They do this so they dont have to carry hundreds if not thousands of keys for each home. I realized this when I was in the market for a house, and the agent was using the same key to open several homes.
They are supposed to Re key it when u close
One time I used my key to enter a car I thought was mine and even started the engine before I realized it wasn't my car. It was a Chevy Sprint. Crazy but true
Cookie cutter world for sure !
Everything is lazy and generic these days. Crazy times.
This is actually more common than people realize. When I worked on a development, every door was keyed the same. It was expected that when the houses were sold that the people would change the locks. It allows the developer to secure the homes without having to carry and keep track of a large number of keys. Many people never change the locks and so a person with a key can easily get into any number of houses in a development. So when you buy a house, the first thing you do, change the locks.
