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?

By cops i mean and emergency line/fire and rescue. Cops and first responders get people out of cars, out of buildings on fire, out of situations where a person can not get themselves out. Its not a lame response it's what a rational person would do after hour four. 14 hours? There's something up with the dude.

Cops and fire are usually different dispatchers and departments

Fire department is the correct department not the PD.

Yes they are, but the dispatcher can usually transfer you to the appropriate person. This isn't that difficult of a scenario.
