Today I saw this near the end of my walking route (USPS). The rope is ~1/2" thick synthetic stuff you'd find at Fleet Farm, too stretchy for this use IMO. The rope was also frayed and UV faded/damaged. From the bare metal showing on the roof, this is SOP. How much do you want to bet (if he even has any insurance) that it's a normal policy, not commercial. Seems one ladder might be explained away as a one time occurrence but THREE ladders and the scratched roof screams work use. If/when an accident happens, his insurance probably won't cover it. I'd bet the owner simply continues on hoping nobody got the plate number. Replacement ladders are cheap on Craigslist, right?
Umm, NO thanks. While that looks cool and works fine on a garage that isn't easily visible from the street (isolated estate behind a gated driveway or turned 90 degrees from the street?), it just invites theft. It wouldn't be difficult to recreate using a reel or two of LED strips and some brackets to transfer power once the door fully opens but anybody on the street can see what's available to steal.
