I, too, after 27 years as a mobile piano-fixer can sometimes be found tryin= g every door of a house-- provided I've been invited to come in regardless o= f whether anyone's home. Sometimes they just forget to leave the door unlock= ed or the key in the specified hiding-place. I do draw the line at windows, though . . .  won't go through a window= unless it's ground-level. I just use common sense. If you make lots of noise, bang on the door first,= tool kit in hand, and don't slink around like you're trying not to be seen,= who is likely to think that you're up to mischief? As far as the just-raped little girl upstairs: Man, you've been watching to= o much TV "news" . . . there really are places left in this world = where paranoia doesn't rule.
