Scam / Not a Scam

So at all the Neighborhood Watch meetings, they're always warning us about the scam where someone shows up at your door, tells you that they're working on the fence behind your house, and then when you let them in, their accomplice robs your house.

So today some guys show up at my door and say that they're from behind my house and need to see the broken fence. I think it's the scam, so I close the door on them and go check the backyard.... where my fence is GONE.

Oops.

Apparently the fence actually HAD fallen over. Apologized profusely to the neighbor who I closed the door on. So as if I didn't have enough going on, now I have to fix a fence.

I have a theory that the fence just got angry at how hot it is and just decided to leap to its death. But that's just my working theory.

Man, it's hot.
