I’m 100% for this rule, I thought they were wearing delivery uniform. It was just really awkward being at the door.

Now that they are gone, should I call police or just be happy nothing happened?

You don't call the police for something like that.
Just remember to keep some cash on hand and don't open the door. If you have a glass window front door, get a camera or cover up the glass.

How do you know if being cased or just solicitation!

You don't.
Nobody but the people who knocked knows their intentions.

Should I check with my neighbors? Never had this before.

Should have gave them some money since you did answer.
Might get a rock through your window now.

We don’t have any cash at home.

You should keep some. Not wise to not have any at all.

Agreed but it would have been upstairs anyways.

Keep a little by the front door. Sometimes you get girl scouts or kids selling candy and whatnot. They feel good to get a little business.

Of course I shouldn’t have answered, but I was looking at them through the door.

They were asking for money. If they were asking for directions or for me to call the police I would have done that.

This is new to us, never happened before. I thought they were delivering something but instead asked for “help”.

This old thread says to call police:

I wish I hadn’t answered, but it’s what it is. Were they likely casing or is that not done now that every block is covered with doorbell cameras?
