Repeated Door Knocking Concerns

Summary

If someone repeatedly knocks on your door, it could be for solicitation, surveys, deliveries, or emergencies. If the person is persistent and makes you uncomfortable, document the encounters and consider contacting local authorities. You can also post a note requesting no visitors, install a security camera, or contact authorities anonymously to handle the situation discreetly. Prioritize your safety and peace of mind.
