Help please! What are your opinions on the ring doorbell or options like that? I use to live in a nice safe neighborhood and now I'm not sure. We had a robbery about 6 blocks away 2 weeks ago. Last night some man came to my door and rang it and then messed with the door handle. We keep our door locked 99% of the time but of course the door happened to be unlocked because the neighbor kids had just come over about 30 minutes before hand and I thought my daughter had locked it. Luckily my husband was home if something had happened. My 1 year old was in the living room with him when it happened and my 6 year old and two neighbor kids were all in my backyard. We think my dog scared the guy away because she has a deep loud bark and was freaking out. The man was carrying a clipboard to make it look official. This has happened a time or two ago but that was months ago.
