When we bought out home back in 97, shortly thereafter,i replaced the doorbell with a remote setup where I could place a couple bells around the house and up stairs.

For the next few weeks whenever I came home, as I entered the door, I hit the doorbell to hear different tunes and also piss off our dog.

One of our neighbors across the street was a bit of a whack job, so I thought. Whenever I came home, she'd be outside yelling at kids or some damn thing. I bring stuff n and go back outside watching her do something.

I went out around 5am one day to get a paper and came back and there she was walking around outside. She was close enough to ask me if I had seen anyone around her house for which I didn't because someone has been ringing her doorbell for a couple weeks now and nobody was outside and pissing her off beyond.

Later on in the day when we came back, I hit the doorbell and went to the window and sure enough, out she came for I realized the culprit was me.

She had the same door bell setup and left it at factory settings as I did. I never told her but miraculously it all stopped

Probably Mormons, just wanting to know if the homeowner had heard the Good Mews.

In the 80's in Stockton the richest guy was AG Spanos. Lived in Stockton, worked in LA, took a jet back and forth every day. One of his family members (one of his parents?) didn't care about being rich and lived in their same midcentury modern happily. But they just had to show off, so they bought the house next door, tore it down and built a garage with like 10 doors. Stored other family members cars or something there. They often annpyed neighbors with pushy security guards confronting people all over the block.

One nght a friend drove by, in anger pointed their own garage door opener at the garage and said, "Open up you assholes!!", and one of the doors opened. They stopped, puched the buton to close it and left. Any time the security got pushy, they would find the door open at 3:00 am. then the kids upped the game by ALL bringing their own remotes until they had found enough to open half the doors. For a number of years it became musical doors at 3:00 am.

At least the kids weren't doing drugs and listening to that horrible punk rock music.

Early 70's my mom worked at our local Ford dealer. My parents had a '72 LTD then, which was of course new-ish at that time.

A frequent customer came in to test drive a new LTD. The salesman gave him the keys, a general description of where the brand new car was, and asked him to be back in an hour or less.

My mom left for her lunch break and her car was missing. Turns out the keys were identical in both cars, and the customer had picked out the wrong car.

In 1983 I worked at a large repair shop. 28 bays, 3 levels, downtown SF. Got a job order for a yellow '71 Cougar convertible for a tune up and lube. 351C engine, never been tuned. Original plugs with the purple paint on them, all stuck. Had to breaker-bar every plug. That tune up kicked my ass. But did it run great afterward with new plugs and points! HUGE difference. I was changing into my street clothes at end of shift, 5pm, when the service manager came into the locker room, saying the Cougar customer was pissed I didn't work on their car. I went upstairs, and there was an identical '71 Cougar ragtop, mustard yellow, with the same lock numbers. I had NOT worked on it. I tuned the one that came in only for an oil change! So, downstairs I went, and tuned this one up....also a 351C and a PITA. Two identical cars, both 12 years old, same locks/keys. What are the odds??

Did the shop notify the owner of the first car? Tricky, that. Most people would be glad to have some free work, especially if it improved performance of the car, but you just know there's someone out there that would complain anyway, because some people are like that.

Nice, but I'll one up you. When I was in flight school in the mid 70's a couple guys had the same identical Suzuki motorcycles. .

Neither one did any basic mods or add ons to them so they were identical. They did not know it at the time but one of the guys key fit both bikes.

One day, one of them came out and his key would not fit and could not figure out why. He screwed with it for an hour and nothing.

He saw the other guy walking toward a car and asked him if he had any problem with his ignition. He said no, but that he had traded the bike in for a new car the day before.

So they both went back to the deal to exchange the bikes
