Not to ALWAYS be the Messenger of Grim Possibilities, but don't overlook that kind of behavior as boundary-probing. Does someone answer the door at 6:30? Hmm, a woman . . . hmmm . . . Any dogs? Alarms? Did she turn several deadbolts? Come to the door armed? Etc. I live a dark, dark life . . . (Although, to be not completely paranoid, most boundary-probing does, I think, occur during the hours it makes the most sense for people to NOT be home, i.e., "working hours." As your "working hours" are potentially ALL hours . . .)

Although the chirping of the alarm system when I opened the door will help with that.

Suuuuuure...the old "I put slipped someone else's tax documents under your door" routine...it was just a ruse to see how hot you looked in the morning...the next will be the apologetic second door knock, then comes the "say would you like to have a drink"...it's all right there in the famous book "The CPA's Guide To Dating"

(Also he mentioned his wife. I'm not quite sure why.)
