The crowd burst into laughter, thinking it was some prank. But then, just as quickly as it started, the safe stopped ‘winking.’ A quiet neighbor leaned over and whispered, ‘Probably just rust reflecting the sun.’ The delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘Next time I’ll believe my eyes before my brain!’
