 BBC licence fee - bathtub tom
I knew a guy who worked in 'radio interference' in the '60s and '70s, a part of BT the dealt with TV licencing. He admitted they would go to a post office and compare addresses with licence holders. They'd drive a yellow 15cwt van with a couple of conical aerials on the roof. Just a pass down the road was normally enough to get folk buying licences. He used to tell a story about how he was working in the area of where his parents lived and he used the van to visit them one lunchtime. The local sub post office ran out of licence application forms that afternoon!
