This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So the stories of Sherlock Holmes are public domain and freely available online. I did my best but I can not find an instance of Sherlock Holmes locking a home. He does instruct someone to lock a door within their home, which they do, but that's the closest I could find. There are also lots of cabinets and things that need locking and unlocking, but that's hardly a home.

Diabolical. I'm at least holding out hope that, at some point, children's TV character Arthur Read and talk show host Conan O'Brien cowrote for the Finnish broadcaster Yle – else why would it be advertised on the covers of those books?
