here's a wee story
years ago, around 1990, when I was a dirtbag uni student, I used to amuse myself by trying to get on the roof of highrise buildings in Melbourne. Apparently it's a thing now. Anyway i was trying to get to the roof of this 30 storey bank hq, but was wandering around the top two levels of plant and lift machinery trying to find roof access when I saw a door in the wall that I wasn't expecting, like a garage roller door, and I could see sunlight coming through the cracks. To this day I still don't know what it was doing there, perhaps to lower stuff down. Anyway, being curious I tried to open it but it only opened up about a handspan. I tried to squeeze under it but my head and body wouldn't fit and I almost got stuck under it in the process. Defeated by this and also getting on to the roof, I caught the lift back down, but this time I left via the front lobby. As I came out one lift I saw a lift door close that had four security guards in it. There was this huge crowd of people in the foyer, maybe over a hundred and some of those portable banners you see at tradeshows, and some local news reporters, all watching this silent tv monitor of a nest of peregrine falcon chicks, and behind the nest was this garage-looking roller door. The door was ajar by about a handspan from the bottom

It was probably just a wandering shop. Like Douglas Adams' sofa.
