I'm not out for awards or to prove anything either, and I don't place myself or my family at unnecessary risk. If the man is innocent, there would be no reason for him to become defensive. If so, it could easily be laughed off. If he's guilty, and something does happen, you'd be able to give the police a complete description and valid information to help catch him.

Hi KathyM, thank you for your note. You are correct that the police can only do so much, but I do disagree with your statement about resources and not caring about me and / or my belongings.
We live in different cities, so perhaps we are commenting based on our own RL experience(s) Our force has a 4-minute response time and never takes anything lightly if we need to call.
It's the part about "if he's guilty and something does happen" ... I'd rather address it long before it ever came to that.
The bottom line is I truly hope it's nothing, and the (suspicious) man just doesnt know any better!
