The workers from Q & D Construction Company - Ceilings Division may have played one of the best pranks yet seen on Garbin Moraine. Several years ago Q & D installed the grid for the ceiling at King Tut's Bar and Grill in the basement of Garbin Moraine Manor. In the process the workers disconnected the screws holding the lights and smoke detectors so they could install the grid for the ceiling and decided to play an April Fool's joke on TWW. The joke has finally come to fruition several years later and not on April Fool's Day.
Recently TWW heard a chirping noise in the bedroom in the basement. He dutifully replaced the battery in the bedroom smoke detector. The chirping continued. He replaced the battery again. Still chirping. He went to town and bought new batteries for all of smoke detectors and replaced all of the batteries. More chirping. He shut off the power and took batteries out checking for polarity and replaced them. More chirping. He pulled the batteries out and left the power off. Chirping went on unabated. He finally disconnected all of the smoke detectors in the basement and carried them upstairs.
Still the chirping went on. Late at night on Saturday after physically removing the smoke detectors from the area he listened for chirping wondering if it was crickets. Finally he heard the chirping above his head.
There was a smoke detector in the suspended ceiling dutifully trying to detect smoke and it had been doing so for several years until the battery gave out. The picture below shows the smoke detector sitting on the grid for the ceiling. When TWW put all the panels in he did not notice the smoke detector hidden up there. TWW sent DNA evidence to local authorities to learn the identify of the prankster.
