When we get to the door I reach for the doorbell but…
““When we get to the door I reach for the doorbell but Carlos steps in front of me, grins and then starts banging on the front door with all of his might. The door shakes and his pounding thunders throughout the house. (...) We must be the world's loudest burglars. I shout, "Why are you pounding so hard?" His grin gets even larger. "If anyone's home, they'll definitely answer that knock. If nobody's home what difference does it make?””
