A couple of "oh duh" moments:

Tenant had a toilet that kept running occasionally. Could see the water was rippling in the bowl. Tried cleaning the flapper. Put in a standard Corky rubber. Then went with a Kohler silicone. Then went with the FluidMaster Performax which has it's own seal and hinges. The instructions said to install at a ~60-90deg to the overflow tube which puts the hinges sideways. Then repacked the seal and installed it more centered to move with gravity. Then realized I'd previously adjusted the fill valve to have a higher level for better flush. The little tube going into the overflow tube will siphon water if it's below the tank water level. Snipped it shorter and all was good again. Only four tries and a lot of driving.

Friend stopped by and had a stuck ignition switch. He couldn't move the car. Key was well worn and the cylinder wiggled around. Drove to pick up a fresh profile replacement copy which didn't work either. Finally realized pressure from the steering wheel lock was binding the switch.
