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?
They don’t knock on doors where I am, they do either of 2 things:
Steal people’s hello fresh or similar food box deliveries, or other porch piracy, usually within 30 minutes of delivery and in broad daylight, and
Sneak/drive around quietly during the night trying to find unlocked vehicle doors, ransacking and stealing whatever they can carry.

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 bcr 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.
