When mowing yards in the late 70's met a guy casing neighborhoods as a window washer. Thought he was just washing windows when I met him. Told me which houses needed a mowing service which got me several yards to take care of. Anyway, seemed like he could open and/or drive anything using a flat bladed screw driver. He just jammed the blade in, twisted it and he was good to go. Tried to stay on his good side until he got tossed in the slammer with multiple counts theft and stolen goods. They had been watching him, guess they found me clean Tried to stay on his good side not wanting me or my family to become a victims.

found that as long as was considered a friend, we were safer than I imagined. Gave me a pair of tickets to a concert once. The girl I took was kind of freaked. All the seats around us were full of undesirable looking thugs. Evidently he had stolen a whole section and I was the only one that brought a date. Told her I got the tickets as a gift from a friend, and all these guys got their tickets from him too and knew that I knew him so were were in the safest place we could be. She felt better, especially after overhearing my explanation the grim looking characters around us smiled and nodded acknowledging what I had said.

Have met some interesting people.
