Subject: [East-CAC] suspicious solicitation

Hi Neighbors,
I just had a strange interaction with a solicitor.  A woman just came to my back door with her hand over her eyes to shield her view from the glare on the glass storm door and appeared to be trying to see inside. It did not look like she saw that I was inside.  I came to door and asked if I could help her, and she showed me a laminated flyer and said that she was offering floor cleaning.  She appeared to be looking inside my house to see what kinds of floor I had as she made up her spiel about the kinds of floors that they cleaned.  I told her I wasn't interested. Then I asked why she came to my back door instead of the front door.  She said that she saw my car parked behind the house and thought that would be where I would be.  I said, Well, usually people come to the front door.  She walked back down my driveway and got into a brown SUV that was stopped on the street (not in the driveway).  This was very strange because my house it as the top of a hill in a no-parking zone, and cars do not usually stop right there.  The SUV drove off as soon as she got in and went down the road.

The woman was wearing a black sweatsuit (zippered black jacket and black pants).  She was around average height (probably 5'6" or so), white complexion, spoke with a bit of an Eastern European accent, black hair with gray that was pulled back.    It looked like there were at least two other people in the SUV.

I just called the police to report this suspicious behavior.  Please be on the lookout.  

Thanks,
Ann
