    Partner tells me there’s a pair of twenty-something (potentially teenage) boys knocking on people’s doors and loudly talking in the Northcote area.

    If they are casing houses (ours is a block of flats and we almost never get doorknockers), and she didn’t open the door for them, do we have anything to worry about?

      Are they dressed in white shirt and black pants? Could be mormons. As far as I know, teenagers don’t ‘case’ houses. They just break in with machetes so they can take the car keys to steal cars. No one wants vcr players anymore and they don’t need to look inside to see if you have one. So yeah, I’d say nothing to worry about.
