One night after a night after the bar I dropped by the office to finish something only to be met by a fire truck and a group of guys claiming to be from the local fire department responding to the alarm being tripped.
I was too drunk to be bothered to do anything other than let them in to do their thing while I did mine, but I always wondered if they were some industrial spies using that as an elaborate pretense to break into the office.
The only thing keeping me from believing that is the fact that nothing I've ever worked on would invite or warrant that level of espionage. Any spy would be better off breaking a window or guessing a VPN password, not buying/restoring an old fire engine in order to con some employee into letting them in the office after hours.
