We often had invisible/incredibly fast visitors who would ring our doorbell and be gone from the door no matter how fast we (myself and my brother) could open the door. Fortunately my brother saw my dad flicking the doorbell clapper arm to get it to "ring" one day or I could well be still camped at the front door with my hand on the lock trying to catch the "callers".
