I am posting this here because nothing else makes sense

Here's another "stranger than true" incident.

Friend of mine had a "consumer device," a little lamp powered by a wall wort. The thing "melted" part of the wall wort while my friends were out of their house, and he, being an electronics type, took the wall wort apart to "see."

There was NO DAMAGE!!!! INTERNALLY!!!!

He showed it to me and asked me what I thought.

I thought "external heat?" and spied a clock they had within range of the nearby window, one of those little crystal things inside a glass enclosure

I said, "heat from the outside, could it be that clock and the sun?"
