Typical inspection of a property that had renters occupying it at the time of the inspection. Very easy to see the lack of concern by the occupants for the proper care of the house and it was, well, just a dirty mess. The couple, who was home at the time, had a little girl may 2-3 years old. When I got to her room I turned to my right, looked down and saw what is shown in the picture below. I just stood there for a moment, confused and concerned. I didn't want to insult the renters, but did they know their little girl had done this? So I called the dad over andask him, "Have you seen this?". He was Oh yeah, I put that there myself so my little girl can't stick anything in there and hurt herself. I simply replied "OK". I looked at my clients agent who had come over and she was just, well, as floored as I was.

I may have found some reasoning behind this a bit later, when I went in the master bedroom where the couple was on the bed watching TV. The smokey smell (both had lit cigarrettes) and the floor fan propped up in the window gave hints, but the bag of weed, in plain view (no pictures, didn't want to agitate him) on the nightstand next to Dad summed it all up.

But just in case, for those that don't know, nails do not an electrical child safety device make.
