Loved it. He never expected that door to be open, why, when there was no way to get in.
I was expecting the neighbour to come home and say he was in the wrong garage.

I have a neighbor lady retired nurse. Years ago, I heard a furious banging, hammering and sawing coming from her tiny garage (the kind they added to small tract homes that are barely large enough to get a full size car in). This went on for several days. The next day I heard a terrible crash, and I ran over there.
She had nailed up floor to ceiling shelves and elbow supports on her drywall with no concept of using the underlying studs. She then proceed to put all manner of stuff on them, floor to ceiling. Like the NY towers, there came a time things failed, and then it all failed and came crashing down in a terrible mess. She had not been stuck or hurt but was in tears. A quick study, revealed exactly what happened, and I explained it to her.
Sandy, you have to nail all the supports only inside the 1 1/2 upright studs behind the drywall.
Well hell, you cannot see them under the drywall, how do you know where they are?
Well there's magnets and electronics, and once you figure out one, they're all 18" on center down the wall.
But really, I think you should just buy free standing shelves. So she did.
This is the same lady who was indignant that someone stole her purse with all her money and ID from her car. I went over and looked and said I don't see any signs of forced entry at all Sandy. Well, I never lock my car, this is a safe neighborhood. Sandy it won't be safe for anyone if people leave their valuables out and don't lock their doors. That's really a simple minded attitude.
I had helped her out many times over the years, and blew the snow from her driveway, but she got real mad at me for telling her to lock her car and house up, and didn't talk to me for several years.
Which was actually a pretty good deal, all the way around.

Maybe she discovered that the the stud's are 16" on center instead of 18"? |
