Back when in 2014 when I was a brand new agent I was asked to host an open house. I arrived at the house about 20 minutes before the open house was starting. I was told where the key was…but there was no key. I got in touch with the sellers who were at the Chicago Marathon. They clearly couldn’t make it back in time to give me the key (they forgot to actually leave). So about 10 minutes before the open house the seller asked me “find another way in”. Yes, she asked me to essentially break into her home. This is photo evidence of me trying, unsuccessfully. Luckily a neighbor had a spare key and was able to save from charges of breaking and entering.
