Hey... we got that lights coming on in the garage thing too!
Funny story... A few years ago I was cleaning out our garage, and this couple pulled up and started walking around. I asked if I could help them, and they wanted to know when the yard sale started. I laughed and told them I was mearly cleaning the garage, but if they wanted to stay and help they were most welcome.
Got a hearty laugh and an apology. I told them it was no problem. Anytime I can break from work is always a welcomed relief!
There’s ssome thiefs here that work in pairs...one goes to the home owner and gets directions to some phony destination while the other one is going through the garage. I got ripped off for a chain saw that way,
