I’m visiting my youngest son in Indiana, and just a few minutes ago, some census worker knocked in his apartment door wanting to know about neighbors who had moved away. I wasn’t privy to the conversation, but I told him if the census worker had questions about previous occupants, they should go to the office, and not question the other residents. I told him I wouldn’t have opened the door to a stranger like that. I didn’t ask him if the person showed him any ID, because he gets bent out of shape being questioned by me. He doesn’t understand what being security conscious is all about. Even though I retired 16 years ago from a job in Corrections, security is still my number one concern.
You should print up some stories of actual situations, where people opened the door in ignorance to strangers and regretted their decisions.
