Is this kind of person trying to break in my house?

Question

This guy with a clipboard knocks on my door, asked me if i have an alarm in my house, and asked me if i'm the owner.

I said i am not the owner. he asked when will he be back.

I also said i dont know. Then he went away.

Do people ask you these questions in order to rob my house?

Answer 1

I would defiantly be careful but then again people are cheap and bad communicators and he could be trying to make business... but defiantly be careful

Answer 2

That deffffinitely sounds suspicious.

Answer 3

I would be careful

Answer 4

Don't be paranoid. From all you told us there was not a thing to be suspicious about.

But it would be appropriate to ask someone why they want to know things, and ask for their card.

Answer 5

maybe but he sounds more like he is tryin to make bussiness

Answer 6

Wow...I'd be worried about that, too.  Maybe you could pick up some of those cheap little door and window alarms that screech if someone tries to open them. That will usually scare a burglar away and at least alert you so you can call 911.
