A young black male wearing a white shirt and holding a clipboard (take note of that description) came to my door yesterday. He knew someone was here because the sprinkler was going out front. I've seen this guy before, selling something else door to door. He gave me a spiel about taking responsibility for his kid and working in this heat all for her.  (buttering me up) He apparently thinks it is heroic to feed and clothe the kids you bring into the world and doesn't realize it is in fact a parent's obligation to do so. He rattled on until I asked him for the bottom line. He wanted 40 bucks for a "magazine subscription" to benefit under-privileged children.  He was quite persistent and asked for $20 when I said no about the $40.  He told me most people don't even ask for the magazines, they just donate, like my neighbor Mrs. ___________ on a certain street in Kings Mill. He showed me her personal info - address with her "order" and signature on it.  I finally gave him 10 bucks to go away, which I regret terribly since he waited for me to close the door and then he cut my water hose with a pocket knife.  Water gushed down my street for about a half hour before I discovered it. The next time he comes to my door, I'm going to take his picture and then post his mug on every mail box out here. My neighbors all have similar stories about this guy and he has been targeting this area for a long while. If he rings your doorbell, just know that he is nothing but a petty criminal/panhandler/vandal. Thanks to this door to door jerk, I ordered a "No Solicitors" sign and I have listened to my very last sales pitch.  Who ever has the nerve to ring my doorbell will be directed to re-read the sign. I am fresh out of patience for this kind of thing.  I'm done. 4951

Did you file a report? It may not do much now, but if enough people complain and have stuff on this guy, it could make for a hefty charge. Plus it will make the charges stick a lot better if he is shown to be a repeat offender. 4951

I had this dude come to my door back in Mississippi. He was a slick fella. I gave him 20 in cash for a subscription that never came. And I gave him a cold water as he left. Huge scam! But I feel the same way. I'm over solicitors. The window people are the worst. The canvassers take your info then you get calls from every window replacement company on the planetGrrrrr! 4951

Call the nonemergency number as soon as you see him again.  If he knows people will call the police he will come to a different area.I don't ever open my door to these people.  I tell them I am not interested thru the door.  Only one was a jerk, and I told him I was calling the police.  He went to knock on my door again, and I hit my home security system.  He nearly broke his neck getting out of my yard.  I did have the police come by that time.  I feel if they can bug the crap out of us, we can bug the crap out of the police.  They can come and see if they have a permit.  They never do.  A large white van drops these people off and leaves them here all day.  It is all a scam.

Girl you need to check out this awesome security system we just got. It has a camera on our doorbell that as soon as it's pressed or someone comes near it, it's start recording and it sends me a alert on my phone right away. And I can't talk thru it. I used that part the other day when one of my oldests sons friend came by while I was eating my lunch. Told him to come back in a little bit all from the dining room table lmao! 4951

I need your security system! I also want to put up a few more cameras on all sides of my house, so that there are as few blind spots as possible. 4951

Oh I want that.  I wonder if I can get it thru Suddenlink.  I would so love that feature, when door to door sales people show up.  I would prefer to have my front porch wired so that I could shock people who do not leave fast enough. I would pay good money for that.  
 
@Fallon:
I have thought about that too. To have a misting/sprinkler system in the front door area. If annoying sales people are on the street.. they wont come through that

I love the way you think! I was just thinking about booby trapping my doorbell. Ring the doorbell and you get egged or something. I was thinking of having a small spike come out of the button that way I also get a DNA sample just in case a crime is committed, but figured that would be a bit sadistic. 4951

I have been looking at the video doorbell...  Here is the links to the ones I have been considering.http://www.skybell.comhttps://ring.com I think it would be worth having.  They seem easy to install 4951
