A "pro" may not do a good job.
In New Zealand we have a TV programme called Target where
professionals are asked to do all kinds of jobs while the owner is
away. There are hidden cameras.
Many professionals do not do a good job. Some wander around the house
& check the panty drawers etc. Some pinch money.

We had a programme like that one of the guys peed in the sink; this was
played on in an episode of the I.T. Crowd.

I think Target has had a big effect on the way tradesmen work in NZ.
They often look around for cameras and sometimes find them.

Another TV channel did a spoof Target on Target programme, where
cameras were put in place before the "real" Target camera installers
arrived.
I have never seen such disgusting things done on TV!
