This can’t be a coincidence. Something has to be going on. Do you have a refrigerator in your attic that is that exact shape?

It sounds like they were visiting in-laws for holidays and was reminded how bad it is out there. From my cursory reading, they aren’t living in close proximity to this, but that doesn’t mean it stops existing.
