When I hear the doorbell ring now, I just don't answer it. Unless I'm expecting company I just let it ring. Happened last week. I did get worried tho. They rang the bell like twice and then opened the screen door and knocked. I grabbed my phone and headed for the other entrance just in case. It was late morning and I wasn't dressed nor expecting company. I heard the door shut and I peered out the window to see a landscape truck driving away. They left a card in the door.

I never do business with any company that goes door to door.
I put a "No Soliciting" sign on my door. It has worked so far.

If you see such a car parked in the area and it does not belong to your neighbor, call the sheriff's office,352-728-6909 or 911 and tell them you think there is a burglary in progress. They are only taking gold (they test it and leave behind non-gold jewelry) and cash. They mostly look in your bedrooms. Keep a TV or radio on when you are not home and have lights on at night. If someone comes to your door soliciting for anything, call the sheriff or Community Watch,352-753-0550. Solicitation is not allowed in the Villages and they may be checking the neighborhood to see who is not home. As soon as I receive more information on alarm systems or more news about burglaries, I will pass it along.

Feel free to pass this email along to your neighbors.

How could they have time to test for gold? Definitive gold tests can take some time. That seems odd.
You can take a magnet and run it along a metal but that only tells you if it is not attracted, it does not tell you if it gold.
I doubt they are performing nitric acid tests, biting it or taking time to examine with a loupe.

Biting it?

Don't forget we do have a few neighbors who own the mentioned car. I feel we should all be aware of our surroundings, lock our doors, leave a light and tv/radio on when out but don't get carried away. Lots of frightened people - seem to be over reacting.

Thank to everyone for all the great information......

Why do prospectors bite gold to test its authenticity? - Yahoo Answers

Solid gold is softer than filled or nickel plated...so yes if you bit it there will be marks

Don't forget the Phony welcome lady who says she is from the villages. She is pushing different bussiness. She lied to me when I asked her if she was an official welcome lady from the villages.
