He punched in the alarm code and turned on the lights, noting again the unpleasant smell. Having been out of town for a week on a much-needed vacation, Roger Corso had opened the front door of his townhouse, in a quiet, security gated and patrolled community, and noticed that the interior smelled of mothballs.
