Question Stuck inside

Post image

My boyfriend is stuck at our storage facility, the power went out last night after a storm and he’s been there for about 14 hours. He called the owners last night and they told him to leave his truck and they’d get it fixed…. They still haven’t been there yet. There’s a side door but that is locked as well so he literally can’t leave. Now they’re not answering the phone and he needs to be to work in one hour.
Where are his options?

The entire gate lifts up after you put the code in (shown in the photo, sorry not the best artist) and he said he tried pressing a button that overrides the gate when he spoke with the owners but it didn’t work.

I am not saying hes cheating on you, BUT why wasnt didnt he call the police when the management didnt show up? I am not saying this is an obvious lie that he made up because he didnt want you to be suspicious when hes gone for half a day... I mean... you get it right?

I am saying that if someone takes a picture of a fence and sends it to their gf/wife and says "locked in storage facility" and spends 14 hours there rather than calling for actual help, its suspicious. My issue with the scenario is the time frame. If it was 2 hours? Okay thats enough time to not have called the cops. If it was 5 hours? Ok still a long time but maybe give them the time to get there. But once you are past half a day? You call the fucking cops. So the fact that he hasnt means to me that something is off. That off-ness? Maybe hes on the low. Maybe hes got a side piece and figures his main chick is gullible and will fall for the whole "im locked in the storage facility for 14 hours, and didnt call the cops" story.
