I have a ring doorbell, worth the money. Also a cam in the garage.

Most solicitors don’t even bother, I see when my amazon packages get dropped off, my daughter gets home from school, I get to say bye from work
As shes leaving, occasional critter and the little hoodlums down the street ding dong ditching.

I have a doorbell camera that has a motion sensor.  So whenever someone comes to the door , I get an alert on my phone with live video. 


And I have security cameras on every side of the house as well. 

I don’t open my door for strangers though.  Unless I can tell it’s a utility company or something like that.

I usually don't open it at all unless I'm expecting someone or a package. It's nice having a dog again. Still a puppy but she's getting bigger pretty quick.

That's what they do before a home invasion

If you see one person outside I wouldn't open it , there is probably more not far

Keep your car keys on you , or near you and a weapon near by

Set your car alarms off , if they come in

It will attract attention if you ever need help

It happens where they get the wrong address looking for a stash

People have gotten ductapped up , power drilled up , pluse worse

I got ziptied up in a robbery once. Not at my own place though, at this house where I was trimming weed for these people.

I accidentally opened the door at night once.

It was this thuggish African fellow that I saw looking at my parked motorbike a few days before.

He asks me a for a ride on the back my motorbike up the street.. it was too late for that, I tried to tell him no, no, I cant. He starts asking me if I smoke weed? I say "no I dont". He says he'll give an ounce of weed. He pleads. He starts looking around nervously, he almost walks away before he goes for one more desperate "PLEASE!" I managed to close the door after that

Damn, getting zip tied up is pretty insane. Were they violent when they broke in or what all happened?

Had someone break into my house once. They climbed through the window from the balcony. You could see hand prints from the outside coming in. Me and my wife slept right through it all, they stole her laptop. We were in the process of moving out of the apartment, already moved everything over, so no truck was outside. But we slept one more night in that apartment.

So it was all timed with expectation that we were no longer in the apartment. I suspect it was some neighbors trying to use the apartment as a party room to trash it out, but they took off with the laptop instead. What's ridiculous is they broke in through the window but the front door was unlocked at the time.

Another time a few years before that, a lady broke in and was just petrified. Woke up to someone opening the door. About freaked out on her, but she said that she thought someone was following her and was looking for a safe spot. Called the police because she thought someone was following her, cops knew her by name before I could even say it. Had some spine shivers when they said her name, that was a little creepy. Guess she did that kind of thing regularly and would act paranoid and afraid when someone woke up and saw her in the house... don't know what that was about in the grand scheme. I assume she was breaking in and stealing stuff and getting away with it, or just genuinely insane.

And then another time when I was living in a kind of party house I woke up to me and my roommates video game systems, TVs and computers all stolen while we slept.

And then a few years back I was awake at 1 am, hear someone opening my door. Grabbed a knife and pretty much charged at the door yelling soon as they walked in. It was two drunk dudes who had the wrong address, they were literally trying to get to the neighbors house. I was like damn, that could have ended a lot worse.

So yeah, I guess I've never had violent confrontations with robbers, but it took me several years of dumb scenarios I'd find myself in to get into the habit of locking my doors and windows at all times just to avoid issues.

I don’t open my door for anyone I don’t know. I don’t even open the door for most people I do know either. Knocks on my door are very rare.

the other night around 11pm my dog stuck his head between the window blinds to look outside then ran towards the door like he does everytime he hears a noise outside. I walked outside and saw a man walking down my driveway heading towards my garage. my driveway is about 400ft long he was about 100ft in. he spotted me and started to say something as he walked towards me.

I told him to stop right there and not walk any closer. he said "uh hey do you know where the Paris Inn is?" (which is the bar 4 houses down from mine) I said "you know god damn well wheres it's at you can see the sign from here and hear the band playing" I said "oh ok" and I told him to get the fuck off my property. I'm pretty sure he was there to steal shit out of my garage.

it's rare for someone to knock on my door because the people that I allow at my house just walk in or if it's late they'll call first. if someone knocks it means they're not friends or family and ill answer the door armed if it's late

They came first thing in the morning when one or two people were just getting up and I was still in bed. Not sure how they got in or if the door was locked. They came in shouting and apparently had a big dog but didn't bring it to where I was. Someone said later they claimed in French to be police. The guy who came to where I was zip tied my wrists together but not to anything else. As soon as I first heard the commotion I stashed my wallet with the cash I had been paid so far beside the bed. We had been paranoid about a robbery for a few days so I immediately understood that was what was going on. But nobody tried to get cash from me.

Most of the weed was hanging from fishing line in the basement and I could hear them cutting the lines from upstairs. A bit later they seemed to have cleared off and everything was quiet, so I went downstairs. One of the guys who hired us apparently had jumped out the window when they came, and when he came back he cut my zip tie and I think I cut another lady's after that with a knife. Not the safest for cutting near someone's wrist but it worked ok. I remember she had what I guess was period blood on her pajama pants. Thinking back I hope that's what it was and not that she was raped or something. But I don't think that would make sense given the timing and that they seemed to be all about getting the weed and getting the fuck out.

Yes, because around here hardly anyone every knocks or rings the doorbell anymore.

Been a while since anyone knocked on my door. Had these young Jehovah's Witness rock up last year. Poor guys got the whole speech how their movement is a cult and they should get out, take the excommunication as a gift and do something with a tangible purpose in life. They were horrified.  :lol: I really feel for these young brainwashed people being driven to knock doors.

It makes me nervous when people do rock up unexpected, especially the police. It hasn't been because they are looking for me for many years now but it still makes me fucking edgy af.

We used to be plagued by various Jehovah's witnesses because there was a house on our street where they would meet up and go forth. Yeah that probably is the best approach, tell them some stuff the organization won't want them to hear. My wife ended up going all ghetto on them and threatening to let the dog loose.


Someone had the theory is that a lot of the reason for the door to door thing is to make them feel hated and isolated from everyone not in their religion. And then the people they do actually recruit tend to be people who are so isolated or out of it that their religious fervor is not a huge red flag/turnoff.


Also it is not really in their interest for you to earn a spot in their heaven because there are only 144,000 spots or something. So when they convert you they probably hope it gets them into heaven and you into the consolation prize category so you don't compete for their spot.
