If a stranger knocked on my door in car asking for scrap I personally would say No Thank You and shut the door, lock it, get the gun, call the police, text the neighbors, and facebook your description, make model of your car... ect. No joke! just last week some fool came to my garage door with no contractor info on his truck, no business card, not even a price for the load of whatever he was trying to sell me and this is what I did. Exactly 4 days later people mile away were burglarized. Make sure you don't look creepy to families or seniors. Just sayin

    I wouldn't even open the door in the first place because it just takes one shove and a stranger is in your house. You don't know when you answer the door if that person is the king of the sex offender registry or mr. nice guy family man.

    Of course, if someone ever did bust into my house my dogs would have a delicious meal of criminal wannabe. Lol.
