Lost keys
Some people I know are always losing their keys but never with the sort of consequences described here.
The Telegraph reports that taxpayers have had to foot a £330,000 bill for changing the locks at four prisons after guards lost their keys. Apparently, the prisons have had to have all their locks replaced over the past two years as misplaced or stolen keys caused security scares but the Ministry of Justice has declined to say which ones were affected.
That is a very expensive lesson to learn. Let's hope that systems have been put in place to ensure that it does not have to be learnt all over again.
