Both garage doors mysteriously opened middle of night
BOTH of our side garage doors opened mysteriously last night. No signs of break in or robbery, police checked house and perimeter. Nothing on security cameras. No sleepwalkers in the house. Garage was checked and locked before we went to bed. Garage repairman hasn’t inspected anything yet but thought it was highly unusual/unlikely a circuit issue or power surge would cause BOTH doors to open. It was a little windy and there is snow drifting. No sign of power outage. Unfortunately we don’t have security cameras on this side of the house but that will change soon. Any ideas or possible explanations welcome, we, and the police are baffled.
