Law

A man was about to open his house door.

Man : "Oh no! I've forgotten my keys!

Thank goodness a locksmith had pasted his ad on my meter box."

Later...

Locksmith : "There, I've unlocked your door. That'll be $50."

Man : "You mean it's free of charge or I'll report you to the authorities for vandalising public property with your stickers..."

Legal Question : Should the man pay the locksmith and should the locksmith charged with vandalism ?

This creeps me out because I recently had something like this happen over the phone. Except it wasn't a locksmith but a contracted civilian employee hired by a federal agency who carelessly left a key unsecured. I reported it because I ended up being locked out and I ended up using the unsecured key. They kept apologizing over the phone but I wasn't mad. I was just letting them know that their primary objective could have been severely compromised if the enemy had the common sense to check the hidden sector where the locked artifact was hidden. It's they who would have stopped being paid if their objective was terminated. I would still be at risk for being homeless in either scenario. Meanwhile, asshole beggars have the nerve to approach me, despite the fact that I live off of food-stamps. I hate those dirty strangers so much.
