Elizabeth wonders if anybody else had the same door-to-door visitor she had last night at 36th/Graham (map) – read on:
Last night around 6:00 I was interrupted by a loud knock on the door – a sassy rhythmic knock. I opened the door to a white male in his late 20s, who said to me in an East Coast accent, “Are you the king of the castle?” I replied, “What do you want, and what company are you with?” His response was, again, “Are you the king of the castle?” At this point I became annoyed and asked, “What are you selling and what do you want?” He flashed a green flyer, and said he was trying to win a contest. Again I asked, “What are you selling?” and he said, “You don’t have to cop an attitude with me.” I then said, “Not interested.” He said something unprofessional (that I don’t remember now) as I was shutting the door. I was suspicious of him from the moment I opened the door, and got a feeling he was up to no good. Did anyone else encounter this person?
As discussed after many previous door-to-door reports, the city code for “residential sales” requires licenses be carried and displayed, so you have a right to ask for one. Read the code here; you can find it any time in the Resources section at the bottom of the WSB Crime Watch page (not that door-to-door selling is a crime, but earlier this year, some would-be burglars did their casing door-to-door, so it’s as good a place as any to keep the info to help you tell whether someone is legit).
