Your home inspector didn't catch those?

Behind an installed section of pegboard? Can't inspect what you can't see...

Sometimes 'Tongue in cheek' and sarcasm don't come across without a smiley.
Nope, but then again, not the only thing he missed. 
The garage is actually a disaster in the wiring. That section of wire is pulled from the light circuit in the house. It runs down the wall into a shower light on the other side of the wall and half of my electrical outlets. The other half of the garage is wired into the bathroom outlets.

That is anti-theft protection, with tool & hooks it becomes a series circuit, old school.
Heard they really worked well.

Me thinks you have unreasonable expectations of your home inspector. A home inspector is to find major flaws, not hidden (and minor) issues such as an unterminated wire. To find this the home inspector would have had to almost completely disassemble the building!

How about the wires coming out of that jagged BX? Looks like it was cut off with a butter knife.
Yup, all kinds of good stuff back there!

Hey, don't be so critical of my work. At least it's MC and not BX. It's got a ground and thermoplastic sheathing. What more could you ask for?
Oh, a connector to the device box? Picky, picky.
You have a ground coming in, but you forgot the one coming out. I'd prefer to have my peg board grounded next time.

I like this idea! However my poor kids would be trouble!

When I moved into my house there was a 240v outlet in the garage somebody added. It was wired in a metal box, with no cover, with one of the hots touching the box. Fortunately I never turned the breaker on...

That is not uncommon. I had one GFCI outlet in the main bath. Then the wires went to the master bath outlet, then to the single outlet in the garage; all on one 15amp breaker. I've been told on the GJF that was "code" 20 years ago when the house was built. Today, not sure if its code or not.
The right way to have done it would have been to put the two bathroom outlets on a single breaker (one of them GFCI) and then the garage on its own 20amp breaker with the first one in the garage being a GFCI.
OR ... rather than a 15amp breaker for two bathrooms and the garage ... use a 20amp breaker, proper wires, and proper outlets.
