    Maybe she wanted to ask something and then just got scared?

    I remember as a kid we were playing hide and seek over at a friend’s house. Someone got all upset because he said one of us went into his garage and shut the garage door. None of us would have done that, but I do wish that guy would have had a camera so he would have had evidence that no one was in his garage or doing anything on his property.

    I have a feeling a family member shut it or he just forgot and when he saw a kid not even in his yard running around he thought he still had it open and blamed it on “hooligans.”

    Camera would have been exceptionally rare back then though… That had to be 97?

      Nah, to reach the button you have to trigger both the screen and the greeting, and even if you are quick there’s still enough time to pause and think. I can also see my closest neighbor’s door, which would be the closest/fastest alternative if you needed something but were startled; they went the other direction, the shortest route to break line of sight, with no hesitation after the press.
