I had the same thing happen with guys delivering mulch years ago.
When they asked for more than the original estimate and I said I
wouldn't pay more, they stared me down and said, "It's not like we
don't know where you live." It was crappy mulch, too.

They also can take note of such things as: what kind of a car you
drive so they know if you're home or not, bicycles, other cars, tools,
mowers, if you have a dog or not, other items convertible to cash.

Doing business with people who solicit door to door is dangerous stuff.

Mindless paranoia.

You can make the same utterly mindless claim about those who do
work at your house, or who deliver stuff, including the post monkeys.

You don't get out a lot, do you? Lots and lots of rapes, murders,
burglaries, and other things committed by people posing as someone they're
not. Facts, not mindless paranoia. If you can't read the newspapers,
there's local TV news each evening at around six. Don't own a TV? Well, I
guess you are going to have to splurge $10 on a cheap AM radio. They have
news on the hour every hour.
