This is a wonderful promotion idea for the locksmith.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>     He&#8217;s helping people solve this horrible problem, so he&#8217;s the good guy.<\/li>\n<li>     He&#8217;s getting hundreds (thousands) of people forwarding this e-mail and promoting his site for free<\/li>\n<li>     Even though the video looks like it&#8217;s on his site it is actually in an iframe from YouTube and so it is not using his resources (bandwidth).
