I always wanted to do this to Jehovas or Mormons or any of those aggravating door-to-door religions; Grab a large knife and red food coloring (or anything that could possibly be mistaken for blood), squirt food coloring all over yourself and the knife (clothes, face, everything). Open the door with a wild-eyed crazy look on your face and say, politely, "Hi. How's it going? Say, can we make this quick, I'm a little busy in the back." Right then have your girlfriend let loose a terrified, weeping scream. Send 'em running.
Alternatively, let out the loudest, death-metalyest roar-scream you can while throwing yourself roughly against the door. That'd probably be fun.

A lot of you are saying call the cops but if a "private organization" such as the GEZ is going door to door saying, "Oh my, you have many nice trinkets, I think you could spare us some donations," what level of competence can you expect out of the local authorities?
What is this GEZ? Is it some sort of mafia or some kind of gang that the cops turn a blind eye to? I'll try to do my own research but what the heck is the GEZ?

You should of said through the letter box or buzzer, " No one is how right now please leave a message after the tone. Booooooooooooooop" It was probably murdering burglars.

Yeah pretty much what everyone else has said, no legit company/ government body is going to come knocking like that at nearly midnight. Either someone who's got the wrong house, or blind drunk. I wouldn't have thought it would be burglars because they would have just tried to sneak in (at a guess).
Hey, maybe they were just some drunk neighbors who thought it was their own place. My girlfriend's had that happen a couple of times.
Remember those girl scouts that tried to sell you cookies earlier in the day but you refused to buy? They have adopted adopted an aggressive new sales strategy. You have just been introduced to the muscle, next comes broken bones and then your place will catch fire.
Nope, I went to sleepTretara said:
. We live on the ninth floor of our building, so the windows are safe, but crazy people have been known to break into student apartments here by getting people to open doors, so meh. In this very building, there have been break-ins on the ground floor, though we don't know any details.GEZ are theoretically responsible for funding public television and radio; they're a sort of agency co-owned by the major radio broadcasters here. I don't understand why they haven't been lynched a dozen times already, nobody likes them and I know they're not necessary (I grew up in Canada, where things are civilized). But yeah. They come by your door and demand that you pay a monthly fee for all telecommunications devices - and if you've neglected to pay up until today, well, you have to pay for all the months you missed! But they have no rights - you don't have to tell them anything, let them in or anything else, so their effectiveness is reduced if you're an "illegal viewer".
Gun laws here aren't all that lax, but pepper spray seems easy enough to come by. We've got a meat knife that I'd be willing to use if someone actually broke the door down. I'd like to pull some crazy stunts on them, but that would involve opening the door, which sounded dangerous last night.
No money owed and nobody slighted, unless it's the neighbors; we're loud sometimes, but never within that 10-6 timeslot, never *that* loud, and never for an extended period of time. We tend to both laugh really loud when we're watching a comedy, as well as being loud while doing... other things. But we keep the music down, and the only massively loud thing we do is vacuum. So I don't know.
We live in the middle of the woods on a back road. A few nights in a row, very late at night (early morning) we had someone banging loudly on our door. Whenever we went to see who it was, no one was there. We assume it was burglars checking to see if anyone was home. (Hell yeah, we were home. And ready to lay a beatdown on whoever woke us up in the middle of the night.)
Over the next few days, there was a rash of thefts in our neighbourhood. Generators and expensive hardware being stolen out of people's garages, etc.
We now have a security surveillance system. And I sleep with a combat knife, but that's probably overkill.
