We live on 17th SE between 17 and 18 Street, and had two separate incidents similar to these. Early last week around 7 pm we heard two loud knocks, and when I opened the door I saw two kids running down the street who appeared to be approaching other houses and doing the same thin.More disturbing was the second incident that occurred las Saturday at 10 pm when an extremely loud slamming noise to the front door was powerful enough that while shy of breaking the door open did result in breaking the frame of the door. It took an effort to secure the door temporarily before having a contractor repair the frame.We called the police who arrived in about 10 minutes. They said they want people to report any similar incidents whether a burglary occurs or not. Sent from my Galaxy

It could be prank knockers, or someone casing.At 7:59 pm an individual rushed up our walk from a black bicycle, (a companion on another dark-colored bicycle remained on the sidewalk, obscured by bushes, gesturing at their companion), on to our stoop, stepped on the actual door threshold, facing away from the camera, double knocked hard, turned and ran down the walk. Then hopped onto the bike proceeding North on 12th where my camera cut off.We were in the front room and opened the door immediately upon hearing the knock. The person was entirely out of sight, having rode away very quickly.In the "Nextdoor" neighborhood boards, this behavior has seen a recent uptick and has been linked to burglaries. Both creating distraction while another person enters a home from a different entrance, and casing for future attempts.Description of person:White/light skin.Slim build. At least 5 foot high, but not tall.Mid-toned navy blue mottled/tiedyed loose-fit hoodie, pulled up and obscuring the face, grey close fit athletic pants, white sneakers with dark striping. Indecipherable younger voices. If these are your kids, at least teach them to prank the correct house.
