Was Our Home Being Cased or Was It Just a Poorly Dressed Salesman?

Howdy. This afternoon, my wife and I were home when a young man rang our doorbell repeatedly. I checked the cameras and saw someone dressed like any other hypebeast, carrying a backpack. I didn’t say anything through the cameras or answer the door, but he idled for a couple of minutes without looking through windows or anything.

I’ve encountered my fair share of poorly dressed door-to-door salesmen, usually trying to sell all-in-one super concentrated cleaners. However, this guy didn’t seem to have a sales pitch ready, which felt odd.

The part that threw me off was when he left on his electric scooter without visiting any of our neighbors. I’m planning to talk to them tomorrow about it.

I can’t figure out why our house would be targeted. All our cars were in the driveway, the TV was on and audible from the front door. While our part of SoCal is notorious for squatters, it’s obvious someone lives here.

Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.
