Midget Switch and bulb thieves

We've recently moved and as is the case with any new places, there are quirky features. We've been amused by some and irritated by others.

My favorite is this light switch. It's a little hard to see, but the switch is about a foot off the floor. It now happens to be behind a couch. When we moved in, I couldn't figure out what it did. Recently I replaced the bulb in a light post that's in our front yard (one that was stolen as a friend had replaced it already).

Turns out this switch operates the light post in the front yard. Nice and convenient. Anyone know a good electrician?

What in the hell?

This reminds me of the short story about the box..."If you push the button in the box you'll get $1,000,000 - but it will kill someone you've never met..."

I'm never touching that switch. Ever.

ASA Electric. Good guys. They've done all the work on M's fishtank and other such stuff around the casa.
