      Some skinny dude in a Guy Fawkes mask sneaks in through the dog door and turns up the heat while you’re at work

        Where’d my kid get a Guy Fawkes mask?

        Seriously, though, who cranks the thermostat to 30 and walks out the door?

          Oh no, my good sir, not while you go into work.

          While you’re at work. If you’re WFH, you could be staring at the door, that person is coming through the dog door anyway.
