My laundry got locked up

[herzzreh]

I live in a two-family house, I have the top floor.
Laundry room is downstairs in the basement. It's behind a locked outside door and there's one more door with a lock at the bottom of the stairs. The only people who have access there is me, with a key to the outside door, and people downstairs through their place. Few minutes ago I go down there to get my laundry and the door at the bottom is locked! I don't have a key to it, neither do the neighbors. Thing is... I am sure that I locked the outside door when I left, neighbors are not home. Weird ****... who could have locked it? Bummer is that ALL of my uniforms are down there, I don't have anything to wear to work tomorrow. Ugh...

This reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. There are a couple of office spaces on the ground floor of my apartment building, and the laundry room is situated immediately behind one of them, with a door in between. The merchant apparently got into some sort of dispute with building management over the rights to the space, and somehow while I was upstairs waiting for my laundry to finish, the merchant had called the police over and had the laundry room locked. I walk downstairs and meet two police officers telling me I can't go in to get my own f------g laundry. This is, like 10pm, and I'm trying to do underwear for the next day! WTF?
