>But how about the guy that calls you - you've never heard of, met, seen >this >guy in your life - tells you he wants the piano tuned as a present for his >wife, he can't be home, but the key is in the barbie on the back porch >(check will be left with key). It happens frequently. In today's society so many people have to be away at work..... I have never yet had a problem. One thing I do though, is to be sure to knock loudly and ring the doorbell first to make _sure_ nobody is at home. It could be traumatic for his wife to have come home from work sick and gone to bed only to wake up and find out some stranger is in the house! One time somebody _was_ home, my customer's elderly (former) nanny who raised her after her parents were killed in Germany during WWII and who could only speak German. Since I speak German, we had a ball getting to know each other. We gabbed and gabbed until the phone rang and I started outside to get my tools. I overheard her saying on the phone to my client, "Yes! She is here! And she speaks German!!!!" (in German) What fun!
