Need A Lift?

"Miss Jane" was planning a car trip out-of-state so she took her car in to be serviced. Since she didn't have a ride home one of the servicemen offered her a lift.  On the ride home she was engaged in chit-chat with the driver and told him that she was going on vacation for a week and was going out-of-state to visit her family. 

Then halfway home she realized that she forgot to give them her spare car key and instead had given them her keychain with all of her keys on it.  The driver asked if she wanted him to turn around and she said "No, that's okay. There is a window on my front porch that doesn't close all the way.  My inside door isn't locked so I should be able to crawl inside and get into my house that way." 


Now I'm sure some of you out there are reading this and thinking that it wasn't very smart of her to tell a total stranger that the inside door of her house isn't locked and that there is an accessible window that a burglar could easily use to crawl in and rob her.

Be patient.  It gets better.

Once she arrives home she realizes that the window on her porch is too high for her to reach on her own so she asks the driver to give her a leg up and boost her through the window. Which he happily does. Luckily for her, the driver was a kind, honest man and didn't seize the opportunity to return while she was gone and rob her blind.
