I must live a sheltered life because if a uniformed police officer knocked on my door I wouldn't hesitate to open it. I would be caught off guard. Then again I am very rural like Ms Gleave and we don't get random strangers knocking on our door. I don't think she opened the door to an unexpected stranger though because she was wearing her coat. I still think she was expecting someone.
ETA: I agree with you woodland, we should all be more careful.
I know, speaking for myself, it is a real wake-up call! My husband will answer the door to anyone, however, I don't allow him to since these crimes were commited, as it's just a little too close for comfort and we are not rural, but that doesn't seem to be a factor for these perps -- some of them are brazen.
Sometimes, during the Christmas season, people from various religious denominations, do go door knocking. We once had one of these affiliations knock on our door Christmas morning, just as we were opening our presents.
