At least they didn't run the wire through the hinge mechanism.

Most of them I see don't have the nail in the bracket or the have a drywall screw.

What I love most about these is the varying reactions I get from buyers, sellers and / or Realtors when I inform them that these compromise the fire wall.

That wire was installed there just in case you fall, you can grab the wire to break your fall....
