I once had a landlord, Lew, who owned a TV repair shop in Arlington, VA, worked as a TV repair man, and performed other electrical work in the DC area from the 1950s through the 1980s. He recounted a story to me about one of his clients, a neighbor of Hoover in DC. I forgot the instigation, but the neighbor paid Lew to install a flood light and aim it squarely at one of Hoover's windows (one of his bedroom windows, IIRC), to spite Hoover.
EDIT: Lew wasn't one to tell tales, AFAIK. One of the most earnest and good-natured individuals I've ever met, though apparently not averse to a little mischief. RIP, Mr. Hedges. https://adventfuneral.com/tribute/details/174967/Lewis-Hedges/obituary.html https://adventfuneral.com/tribute/details/174967/Lewis-Hedge...
