I remember seeing a story once on, I think it was CTV where they showed a shot overlooking a large suburban development with a voice over like this:
"Every day, tens of thousands of innocent people are being held hostage in their own homes. The culprit? Not illness, not gang violence, not even the weather....it's the nefarious Cable installer, or the evil Electrician, or the shadowy Phone Installer. They *say* they will be there between 8 am and 5 pm...but never call if they can't make it...and you are held hostage for another day! Can someone set them free?"
