Dang, even Barney Fife knew to turn his keys in when he retired!

ANAMOSA, Iowa (UPI) -- Iowa is spending $6,000 to change the locks at
one of its state prisons after a set of keys belonging to a long-retired
guard turned up on e-Bay.

Jerry Burden, warden of the Anamosa State Penitentiary, told KCCI-TV in
Des Moines, that he does not know if any of the keys actually open any
of the locks in the 135-year-old prison -- but he is not sure they
don't. The prison houses a number of violent criminals.

"It certainly is technologically behind the times, but many of the old
technologies still work remarkably well," Burt said.

The keys belonged to a guard who retired in the 1970s. After his death,
someone put them up for sale on the auction Web site, advertising them
as keys that once opened doors at the prison.

This week, someone paid $12 for them
