There has been a report of a skinny guy going door to door telling people he is thinking about starting a newspaper route and asking residents if they would like to be on the route. It probably is bogus. Most likely he is (1) knocking on your door to see if people are at home and/or (2) casing the house for a future robbery. To the best of my knowledge, he doesn’t present any newspaper credentials. Other residents have called 911 to report a suspicious person.
