Different places right? Where I live you're as like to get shot as not for approaching someone's house on foot at night without announcing who you are and why you're there.

Someone came stealthily up to our gate late at night once when my partner was alone in the side yard. Dog ran him off when he tried to open the gate, but I don't like to think what might have happened if he wasn't out with her. There is literally zero chance he was there for any legitimate reason and she was clearly visible in a light at the back of the property.
