<DIV><FONT size=2>I had a very interesting experience a couple =
days ago
tuning a grand piano. As soon as I walked in I noticed that there =
was a
camcorder pointing at the piano and was running, (the little red light =
in the
front is a bit of a give away). It was poorly concealed under =
a
towel. Great just what I need, a lady who thinks I'm going to case =
and rob
the place and wants to spy on me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I sit down and pretend I didn't see the camera and =
proceed to
tune the piano. While I'm working I noticed that her =
kid,
(probably 9 or 10 yrs old), kept creeping around the corner and watching =
me. Now I'm starting to feel like a criminal figuring the lady is =
sending
her son on a reconnaissance mission. I continue to tune the piano, =
double
checking myself as I go that I'm not doing anything that would =
constitute being
accused of something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>After a while I started hearing really strange =
sounds.
You know, kid sounds that annoy school teachers and little =
sisters. The
sounds are coming from behind me but there isn't anything there but a
wall. I continue tuning and then hear the sounds =
again. I get
up and walk around the piano. Nothing. I sit down again and =
within a
minute more kid sounds. FINALLY I figure it out. There was =
an outlet
cover in the wall that apparently goes though to the other side and =
isn't
entirely sealed. Then it dawned on me. The <U>kid</U> had =
set up the
camera and was playing a game with me. He's making sounds =
through the
wall to catch my reactions on tape for his own amusement! I =
thought about
it for a minute but chose not to play along "just in case". What a =
slick
little snot! I finished tuning the piano and called through the =
house to
let someone know I was done. After several minute of yelling =
through the
house I just packed up my things and went on my way. This was a
prearranged deal so I wasn't owed any money so it was just as
well. This was definitely a first for me!</FONT></DIV>
