Justa: I ran across an article written in a local magazine with a quote that might interest you and your geese.
Al Capone had a home right off Bluemound Road (very rural in those days)...The street, now known as Capone Court, was his driveway and "nobody arrived unexpectedly at Al Capone's house." A watchtower was built for a lookoutpost, And Capone kept a flock of well-fed flock of Canada Geese on the property. If federal agents tried to surprise Capone, the geese would make enough noise to warn him. A tunnel led from the house to the garage so the gangster could make a quick getaway without being seen.

Do you know if Al Capone had one gardener or two?
