Who doesn't know what "solicitation" means? These probably aren't particularly crafty criminals but don't assume they are dumb people--even if they are teenagers or young adults.
Criminals and noncriminals case areas without knocking on doors everyday. It takes a simple drive through or walking a dog around your neighborhood to notice when people leave for work and when they come home. You notice that as a neighbor so nonneighbors notice the same. In fact, without knowing the structure of your community it isn't safe to assume that some of these people aren't your neighbors or associated with your neighbors.
The neighborhood and the police should handle it together. If you choose to have a gun, just be realistic about what the gun is doing and what it isn't doing.
