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.

And this is actually broadcast on TV? With permission of the workman or
not?

Some may have a harmless penchant for this sort of thing

Pinching money ?

and perhaps they
should be confronted privately, but broadcasting it to friends and family
and possible customers seems unbelievably cruel.

Yeah, bring it on.


Perhaps if a good standard of work is desired, tell the workmen in advance
about the covert cameras connected to national TV, that might work quite
well.

What are the circumstances when a good standard of work (That you will
be paying for) is not required and you are happy that the workmen
frisk your drawers looking for your wife's / daughter's panties ?

That reminds me of a rewire I did where the owners had a teenage daughter.
Her bedroom had no carpet, just polished floorboards and her bedroom was
above the dining room. When we rewired the dining room light there were two
cut boards above the dining room light (probably made years ago when the
lights were changed from gas lights).

The daughter had been a compete PITA complaining about the noise etc we made
in a morning spoiling her sleep etc so when we removed these two boards and
found her stash of bondage equipment and saucy underwear I thought that it
was my duty to feed the switch wire for the light through her crotchless
panties etc before replacing the floorboards.

Out of decency I did not screw the boards down with anti-tamper screws.
