Padlock Locked? No!

I wanted to get back home after some harvesting and the big gates on the entrance to the farm were locked and that was where my car was. I went to find the security guard with the keys to let me out. I searched high and low around the farm grounds but just couldn’t find him. At the other end of the farm there was another exit so I took that and walked 1.5 kilometres around the fields onto another road, which led back to the main entrance. It was hot I have a big bag of vegetables I had to lug along, but finally got to the car after a twenty minute walk in the heat of the day. When I go there I found that the gate wasn’t locked at all the padlock was hanging there but not closed and I could have just walked out quite easily nearly an hour ago!
