Wow, I can believe it.

The first year I was in Real Estate back in Wilmington, I took a listing for a investment property and wanting to make sure I knew as much as I could about it, I went by at about 2pm and walked all though the house and then arround the outside.  it was a twin home, meaning it shared one wall with the house next door, and in this case shared a driveway with the house next door on the other side. the house on the other side was not attached.  I walked down the driveway into the fenced in (8 foot Privacy fence) back yard, and looked around at the over grown (5 and 6 foot weeds all arround and noticed that nobody from the 3 sides of the back yard could see in, potential selling point.  I turn and start to head for the driveway, and noticed 3 guys coming down the driveway, one of them with his hands at his side, and a knife in his hands.  I was so scared, but someone at the street yelled at them, "Hey, What are you doing??" that was enough and they ran. 

Later one of the agents in my office who worked these kinds of listings all the time told me, the biggest mistake I made was going their after 12 noon.  Noon until about 7pm is when the crack heads in that area are trying to get money for that nights fix, and other things.  He said, If I have to go there, go in the morning.  I did that and never had any other issues, and I showed the house 4 or 5 times and then sold it to a investor.
