Two strange men in our house

At 0600 this AM I was awake and there were two strange men in our house and the first one was laughing about his 16 year old.
The first part, that I was awake, may sound odd enough but the latter bears explanation.
Let’s work backwards.

Last of all? Abbly slept right through it all.
Just before 0600 the second one was in the attic.
Before that the first one asked us all kinds of questions about candles and the dishwasher.
Before that he was in Abby’s bedroom while she slept.
When the first one came in the door I thought…man he is HUGE!
Just before that, approximately 0540 I was in the front yard in my slippers and shorts looking at the roof.
Angela smelled it too and she called the RFD.
Prior to that I woke up Angela to see if she smelled it too?
Just before that I was looking around the house in my skivvies smelling outlets and those infernal scented outlet thingies.
Prior to that, while checking on Abby, I smelled the distinct smell of smoke at around 0530.

So that explains the HUGE strangers in our house (man they were big) at 0600 this AM but we still don’t have a solid explanation for the very distinct smell in the house.
My explanation, the neighbor lit a cigarette on his way out the door and the sulphury smell of the struck match happened to be potent enough to waft into the window and blow into the back of the house where it lingered, without exit.

Angela, I believe, still thinks it was an electrical smell and I can’t completely dispute that. The Renton Fire Department guys are pretty nice.
