That was the installation where aluminum wiring was quietly substituted for the copper that got stolen the night before the work was done, right? I remember reading something about that this summer in an electricians' newsletter. The connectors involved (I think they were called something like "WAGO Wall Wire") were explicitly not intended for use with aluminum.
