A college bud of mine from maaaany years ago told me that once during his high school days he came home very late from a party, went up to his room, put on a Zepplin record, grabbed the head phones, and cranked it. He realized he forgot to hit the speaker jack button when his dad started shaking him. He said he had Zepplin blaring thru the house at 3 in the morning. So much for a stealth entry.
