Inspector caused damage to my listing. What do I do?

[/u/mad_infinitum]

I’m a relatively new agent. Listed my parents’ home recently. They’re in the process of moving out of town. When they returned home today (2 days post-inspection, still no inspection response) every single light in the house was on, and both AC units were running and set to 73°F. It’s Louisiana summer and both units had been left around 77° when my parents left town. On top of that, suddenly none of the lights nor the vent will turn on in their hall bath. There has never been an electrical issue in the 12+ years they’ve owned the home. It’s not the breaker because the same breaker controls the hallway lights and those are working. They’ve also checked the breakers. And the outlets are working in that same bathroom. GFCI functioning properly and everything. It’s only the lights and the vent. We’re all dumbfounded as to what it could be or what could’ve possibly happened. One other outlet is no longer working in a separate part of the house and interestingly enough, it’s the one their internet and ring camera were plugged into, so we have no info from the camera.

What’s the best course of action here? I’m obviously furious for multiple reasons, but I don’t want to lose the contract when it’s still a slow market here.
