Default Survey

The survey was on Mr Poll, can't remember where. I have spent many years collecting odd facts. I can confirm that the following are from a very reliable source the insurance industry which as experts who collect such facts. Women are more likely to be locked out requiring a locksmith to get in. Therefore a higher livelihood of them rather than men being locked out in the nude. But was it deliberate, the insurance industry says that 95% of cases involve Yale locks where keys where left behind because they had been taken from their normal residing place and not put back. The other 5% of case where due to faults with locks or keys breaking. Interestingly men are more likely to be locked out of cars than women. I did some clever math's for the UK, the math's say that 7 working aged women per year should find themselves locked out of a room, house, car etc. I did not have the full set of population variables I needed for USA so this estimate falls outside of confidence there should be about 70 women per year finding themselves locked out.
