Not answering the door is a good way to get it kicked in. Ask me how i know. As to the op, it was a good call to send them packing.
Yep. No one was more surprised than I was ... Well except the ***holes who tried to open my door anyway. Jackie and Shadow were NOT happy to have their naps disturbed. Guys at the door literally pissed themselves as they were running back across the front yard. LOL All fun and games aside, it was NOT funny. If I'd not had Jackie and Shadow at home things might not have gone so smoothly for me ...
