Heh, yeah I hate that. Stupid fools need guidance in everything. Some guy robbed a house, and went to the garage. He closed the door behind him, and it locked. So he tried using the garage door. Apparently the thing wasn't working. He got stuck in the garage for 3 days, starved. After the people came back (from vacation or something), they found him and arrested him. After getting out of jail, the guy sued the garage door company (apparently) for malfunctioning garage door openers. He won.

 

Go figure,
