Nooooo...came all the way up to the front door and then saw the NO Soliciting sign I've been forced to put up. Only then did he back peddle. Go away..I don't buy door to door. You would think the groups here in the villages that want to stop senior crime would have an active interest in stopping these soliciters...because a lot of the ripoff scams are a result of the door to door activity.
Don't forget the roads in TV except for the villa streets are public streets and the gate attendants cannot turn away traffic. What they can do is note the make/model in case there is a problem.
