Was my house marked? I'm trying to understand what this means.

There were these two men going around my neighborhood earlier today. They were knocking on my door and trying to yank on my storm door to get to my main door. They stood there for several minutes knocking and yanking and yanking. I pretended not to be home even though I'm sure they saw me in my living room. I had moved to a corner to watch them. I do not answer my door unless I know you or am expecting you. I saw them continue down the street and they went to my neighbors door. They didn't stand there nearly as long or didn't yank from what I could tell. I see them leave and they go further down the street not stopping at anymore homes.

I come out to my porch and see two quarters sitting on the porch by my door. They were not there until those men came and left. I was wondering if the quarters left behind meant my house was marked for robbery or something else.

Might be worth calling the local Police and telling them this.
They might have been posing as religious folk scoping houses for the intention of burglary.

@Picklebobble2 They had these bright neon work vests on and had badges but why leave the coins? I couldn't read the badges as I didn't have my glasses on at the time unfortunately.

@deepblacknothingness Well maybe the coins are a sign for others.
Like leaving a chalk 'X' on the pavement outside your house.

@Picklebobble2 That's a very real possibility. A sign that says hey a short old man lives here you could easily take him out and rob the joint.

@deepblacknothingness Well it's well documented how two such people can show up at your door and having made the mistake of perhaps inviting them in, one then asks to use the bathroom and while you're talking to the remaining man the other is searching your bedroom for valuables

@Picklebobble2 Oh yes I've heard of that. Luckily I have a ring doorbell so I have them on tape
