Glad to read that you’re still alive after that experience and that you managed to extricate yourself from the house. Plus repair the trousers.

I recall many years ago, the boss at the office where I worked somehow managed to lock the car in the parking space downstairs, with the engine still running! One of those Holden Commodores. I don’t recall how long it took for staff to find out.

@Zealandia Crap Australian car.
I wasn't inside I was perched atop a 10' high gate with steel mesh sticking through my pants. As I physically can no longer do the lift & swivels that we used to do on the gym vaulting horse pommels I had a job extricating myself from the situation.
Then when I walked round the front the gate was still jammed locked. Fortunately I was able to use the steel tip of a nordic walking pole in the car parked in the street to jemmy it sufficiently forward to allow the combination lock to be used to turn the lock open.

Thought I’d putt it out there. Pretty rough though.

@Zealandia Good hunting for the birdies & eagles.
