I had some people read over some script ideas and outlines for a story, and there was one plot turn that they said was a plot hole they thought.
Basically the main character is following the villain around trying to get proof of his crimes. He monitors him with a parabolic mic while following him and the villain opens a safe. His safe has a touch tone keypad built in because the combination is his cell phone number. He made it this way so if anyone opens the door with the code, the safe will call him, and let him know.
So the MC aiming the mic on him from a distance, records the sounds of the touch tone buttons being dialed into they keypad. He figures out the combination by matching up the tonal sounds, with that of his own phone. He then has it figures out and breaks into the safe, but calls the villain and alerts him without realizing it was built to do that.
However, in the feedback I got, no one was able to tell me why exactly it was a plot hole. They said they were not sure what the problem is, it just feels off and causes them to raise eyebrows.
Can anyone put their finger on what the problem may be? Does it need a total rewrite or what is the problem that I can avoid for rewriting?
