Person A locally advertises an antique roll-top desk for sale. Person B responds to the ad, but when B arrives, the top of the desk is open. Wanting to see the condition of the whole top, B pulls it down, but in doing so, the desk locks. Person A's car, detached garage and house keys are locked inside. Person A says Person B is responsible for hiring and paying a locksmith to open the desk. Person B says they can't be held responsible for something they didn't know would happen (i.e. the desk would lock when the top was closed). Who is correct?
