OP, there is no reason in this day and age to open your door unless you know/are expecting the person.  Most of the time, they are casing to see who lives there.  I can not stress this enough.  Our neighborhood gets hit a lot (including people with alarms who did not activate them - what a waste!), and I swear this is why.  The "solicitors" know who is where when because of the naive people who actually open their doors.  Seriously.

Be smart.  Don't open.  That way, if you never open, they won't keep coming back.  Also, they won't know whether you are really home or not (i.e. if you have a garage and use it)!   [/quote]

It is intersting how people have such a false sense of security.  As someone who is not even originally from the US, I feel like the crime here is really, compared to what I'm used to and peoplel really feel so safe. Considering the huge economic divide and the prevalance of guns, it appears to me that the burbs and the nice areas are perfect hunting grounds for break-ins.

Anyone remember that strory a few years back about that older couple who was attacked on their early morning walk in a nice a quite community in Leesburg? The man was murdered and the wife raped and left for dead.[/quote]
