After a brutal ER shift, I came home ready to collapse\u2014only to find I couldn\u2019t get into my house. My key wouldn\u2019t turn. After fifteen freezing minutes of jiggling, cursing, and questioning my life choices, I realized why.<\/p>\n
A toothpick was jammed into my lock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n My brother came over with tweezers and confirmed it hadn\u2019t happened by accident. I brushed it off\u2026 until it happened again the next night<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So instead of calling the police, we set a trap.<\/p>\n A security camera caught the culprit in crystal-clear detail: my ex-boyfriend<\/strong>.
