Paranoid

Just as I was about to fall asleep about an hour ago, I heard a knock on my door. Thinking this is very strange, I walk to the door to look out the peep hole and see a guy in a baseball cap that I do not know. Then I hear him ask someone else "Do you see any other cool looking houses?" This seems obvious to me that they don't think they know me, and they aren't just knocking on the wrong door. But this makes me wonder what on earth these two guys are doing at 2:30 in the morning knocking on doors of people they don't know in "cool looking houses."

Then they stood in front of my neighbors door for a moment before walking down the street, I assume, in search of another "cool house" to disrupt. So I call the College Station police to let them know there are suspicious people in the neighborhood. About half way through the phone call, I begin to wonder whether this is worth bothering the police about at this hour of the morning, or am I just paranoid? Any thoughts? Justified notice to the police, or paranoia?
