The mechanic, rubbing sleep from his eyes, glanced outside and saw nothing but empty streets. Curious, he stepped closer—only to realize the noise seemed to come from inside the garage itself.

With a smile, the mechanic shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll remember to check the radio before locking up.’
