I hope he was actually with adt and not scoping out my home! Do they still do door to door sales?

Edit: called the boys in blue just to be safe. Was told they know those guys are in the area from time to time and as of yet no trouble. Makes me feel a little better

I had a woman from "honeywell" come to my house once to have me do a "survey" for my alarm company.

Made no sense, told her to gtfo the neighborhood and she did immediately. Scam.

I have an ADT alarm system. Two weeks ago a guy claiming to be from ADT knocked on my door saying they were going to "upgrade my system". A few days later ADT sent an email saying there have been reports of scams in my neighborhood.

My grandfather told a guy doing this very thing that he had a Smith & Wesson for an alarm system.

Guy left with the quickness.

Honestly that's a pretty common scam. I would be on alert. Maybe shoot a neighborhood cat or two and display them on your porch. I don't know, I'm just brainstorming over here.

He was just a go-getter trying to build his career no reason to get hostile

They will rob you tomorrow and then come by next week. Bet you'll buy it then.

Could be a scam but they commonly employ college students to go door to door during the summer. Saw a bunch of guys in ADT shirts eating the other day. They left the same time I did and I noticed all of them had plates from different states.

ETA: obligatory. You gon get raped

That's why I always invite those guys in.















People can't hear them scream when you kill them with a hammer and dissolve them in acid.

Fun fact. If you train a laser on them it freaks them out and they run down the street.

Hope he's not a sex offender because that's now officially against the law

ADT, U-Verse, DirectTV, and other door-to-door sales are the new jobs for transients.

After I answered the door with my M1911A1, even the Moron missionaries quit coming.

This is basically the most typical home casing technique ever...
