What Should I Do When a Stranger Rings My Doorbell at 5am?

Question by Sewnmemaw60: What should I do when a stranger rings my doorbell at 5am?
Recently some new people have moved into my neighborhood a few doors up from my house.I believe this person who rang my doorbell was one of these people but I don’t know as I couldn’t see too good through the peephole. I ask who is it but could not understand what he said,I didn’t open my door but told him not to ring my doorbell at 5 in the morning.What idiot would go to someone’s house at 5 AM unannounced? I’m thinking maybe a “crack addict” but could be wrong. However there’s no excuse for this.Should I call downtown and talk to a detective or should I try to find out who it was on my own?
I am 64 yrs old disabled and live alone so I’m concerned that there may be drugs have moved in a house close to me and trouble is brewing. This has been a quiet uneventful neighborhood until recently but now I see teens walking the street as well as strange cars come and go and now ringing my doorbell before daybreak? Yes I’m concerned so what do you think I should do? Yes I have no trespassing signs up.

Don’t open the dorr, and if you want to document it, file a report with your local PD.
