Some years ago I was fitting a high end security system for a local heavy, there were sensors on all the windows, contacts on all the doors, pir's in every room and panic buttons everywhere. I was installing the panel in a cupboard in the bedroom and as it was full of stuff asked him to empty it before I arrived, which he did, all except for a shoebox on the top shelf. My apprentice lifted it down and opened it, it was full of ****o pictures of his wife, Polaroids, loads of them.
We did the job and put it back without saying anything, when we'd finished and were packing up he arrived back home and asked if we'd found anything in our way, we said we hadn't, except the shoebox, he then asked if we'd looked inside, we said we hadn't, trying to keep a straight face. "that's a pity, it had some family photo's in it, you'd have enjoyed them" he replied.
I warned the apprentice, never to speak of what he'd seen in that shoebox, as the guy was a proper heavy, a few years later he got locked up for putting a bloke in hospital, apparently he had seen the blokes wife and not realising who she was had made some comment about what he'd like to do to her given the chance! some things found on jobs are best forgotten.lol
