Good idea - thanks. We have a “no soliciting” sign out front and it really ticks me off when someone (other than kids) comes to my door. It’s not that I’m too cheap to buy something, but I know that often they are casing the place just as mentioned in the article. I had one guy recently ask all sorts of questions about dogs and husband’s job - I wish I had thought to say he is a sniper and teaches self defense classes. lol
Depending on my mood, I ask them why they can't read English? If I get a snippy answer, I tell them they are tresspassers and I am going to call the police. (I can do that because it is a closed neighborhood posted "owners and guests only.")
