Letting a bunch of strangers into your house? Sounds like a good way to get robbed

I had a guy that came to buy something from me and wanted "too see my tank" I let him in quickly and it seemed like he was scoping my house

MarkoD - do you ever contribute beyond hijacking threads and attempt to cause drama?
this will be the 4th year we do this.
the first 3 years went without any subsequent breakins - pretty sure we are safe.

FYI it's pretty normal for people who buy stuff off you to want to come in and see your tank. Most people are in this hobby because they love it and enjoying seeing others set ups. Most people also like to chat about what you've done with your tanks and get ideas for themselves on how to improve on their tank or share advice on what worked well for their tank that might help your tank etc. etc. It's called being friendly, not necessarily someone trying to case out your place, but if you're not used to that sort of thing I can see how it could be confusing.

im more than friendly to everyone who comes to buy things from me. I know the difference between someone wanting to see my tank. and someone looking around at other things making an excuse to use the front door instead of the back basement door (where the tank is). This guy had knee problems and he said it was easier for him to use the stairs than to walk down a slight slope to get to the back door.

my point was that i wouldnt just trust people i meet on canreef.
