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.
