Police were called to E. 23rd Street to speak with a man and a locksmith. The man told police he had locked himself out of his vehicle and he called the locksmith. They agreed upon the service and fees and the locksmith responded to assist the man. The man said the locksmith attempted to unlock the door but was unable to do so on the passenger side of the vehicle and then began attempts to unlock the vehicle from the driver side. While the locksmith was doing this, the man said his friend used a coat hanger to unlock the passenger side. The man claimed since the locksmith didn’t unlock the door, he didn’t owe him any money and at a minimum would only pay a service fee but not the full agreed upon amount. Police told the man that he agreed to have service performed by the locksmith in exchange for an agreed upon amount of money and just because he was unsatisfied with the service he received, he was not excused from paying the debt.
