    I live in Rock County and was home (day off from work) last winter when an older white van with no windows or markings and ladder on top pulled into my driveway and the lumberjack-looking driver rang my doorbell. I didn't answer because I wasn't expecting anyone. From my viewpoint, I was able to spot the driver with his face pressed to my front window looking around before he left. When he pulled away he drove VERY slowly looking at my front door/side yard deterring me from getting his license plate. I called the police immediately - they asked if I had a service call scheduled (Which I did not)and what way he was traveling. I wish the articles would give a better description of the "van" - could be the same guy.
