A madman with bloodshot eyes, holding an oxyacetylene torch & a stolen burning teddy bear
I have managed to get into the garage, by cutting a small hole in the door and accessing the emergency release, and once inside, I have re-programmed the radio control box afresh, and I've even sealed up the hole after me.
