Never open your door to a stranger. IN OLDEN DAYS BEFORE WE HAD CELL PHONES a would-be assailant, robber or rapist tried twice in 2 weeks to enter my Front Door in Maryland. The first time he acted like a "drunk guy" trying my front door Forcefully, acting like LET ME IN. I LIVE HERE. I yelled "No you don't" I did not open my wooden door. THEN HE ASKED ME TO LET HIM IN to Phone someone to drive him home. I said "I'm calling the police and they'll take you home" . That remark got him Off my porch walking like he was tipsy.
Couple weeks later, a well-dressed guy knocked loudly on my door & Said his car broke-down and he needs come in to call a tow truck. I said tell me which tow company and "I'LL CALL IT." he insisted "Let me in." I said"No i'll call a # for you but you're not coming in my house."
I called police and Officer Lou arrived and queried a couple Parked nearby what THEY SAW: they saw a man walking around the perimeter of my fenced yard "WHISTLING TO A DOG" Our fenced yard had signs posted "POLICE K9 ON PREMISES --KEEP OUT" Officer Lou asked that couple to identify the man at my door. Witnesses Who saw that guy walk around my fenced yard gave Officer Lou the suspect's license plate number. Officer Lou tracked down that license plate & drove to his address, and pretended he needed this guy "as a witness to help solve local break-ins! " Off. LOU SAID HE'D SUMMONS HIM TO COURT TO TESTIFY & ID THE BURGLAR
The couple necking told police "the guy at her front door is the SAME GUY who walked around that fenced yard--whistling for their dog."
PERP NEVER BOTHERED US AGAIN !
