An Oak Forest girl, her father and grandfather were approached seven times within 40 minutes at their home on Nov. 25.

The first person, a white male with short brown hair, knocked on the door at about 6:05 p.m. and asked if the family needed help with any "technical difficulties," according to an Oak Forest police report. The 8-year-old girl, who lives with her family in the 6000 block of Oakland, said no and shut the door.

The same man knocked again and asked if the family needed an exterminator. The girl again replied "no" and shut the door.

A few minutes later, a third knock came from the door. the report states. A black male was now standing with the other man. The girl immediately shut the door and told her father and grandfather. After knocking a fourth time, the two men at the door noticed the men inside the home and walked to a brown SUV.

Shortly after that, the strange pair knocked again and asked if they could come in out of the cold, the report states. The men continued to knock, asking to come in, but the family refused to allow them to enter. When the men refused to leave, the grandfather yelled that they were going to call police.

Officers were unable to find the SUV after checking the area.
