Knaack just sent us this story as a promo to their Jobmaster storage chest, but the tale will bring a smile to most contractors.

After working on a building, a Terre Haute, Indiana, contractor for Garmong Construction Services finished up for the day and locked up in the typical fashion: locks and dead bolts on both the front and rear doors of the building, backed up by an alarm system.
