Polite, quiet, wearing their group's shirt, they appear to be doing it right. Starting the project out with an innocent group of folks hopefully indicates that I am trying to inform rather than pick on folks that I think are potential burglars.
Now, let's see if they have the permit.

Does your doorhanger distributor have a solicitation permit as required by the City of Richardson?

This is not a complaint. I have no particular opinion about your
service/product/group. I send these notes to handbill distributors to make sure I know who is is my neighborhood. Highland Terrace has been experiencing an increase in daytime burglaries and as a citizen involved with CrimeWatch I want to keep my eyes open.
Many groups seem to be unaware that the city can fine handbill
distributors $500/day unless the permit is carried "on thier person" or if attaching handbills when the resident has a No Solicitors sign. Getting the permits beforehand protects both your organization and my neighborhood."
