I'm getting random doorbell rings between 10.00pm and 11.00pm on an irregular basis and its freaking me out slightly. I'm a single mum living with my 15yo son, I love my house but we live 5 mins away from a slightly undesirable area with a few ruffians. We are an end terrace, in a close which borders a main road and is sometimes used as a cut through to get to another main road. We had our bikes stolen from the back garden 18 months ago so I fitted a taller gate and put a motion light in the back garden.
Am considering improving my property (extension/garage conversion) but admit this is making me re-think whether a move would be better. I'm wondering if I should install CCTV on the front door and in the back garden or am I over-reacting. We have an alarm, so I feel slightly more protected but this is, as I said, freaking me out! There's no way I would answer the door in the dark anyway, and they just ring once and then nothing. It's happened three/four times in the last few weeks.
Advice welcomed. TIA.
