Being careful is not being paranoid...
I am home alone a lot especialy when my husband's current job requires travel, so I don't answer the door if I am not expecting someone. I also have "protection" at the house just in case...
The ringing of the door bell could be a good fact, but some home invaders will ring the door bell to see if anyone is home and if there is not they may break in to the house or in your case car port. If someone answers they have some lame reason for being there and move on...
This happened last year near my house in MI ( a nice area)...Guy rings the door bell, woman home alone sees a truck she doesn't recognize so does not answer the door. A few minutes later she hears a window break, takes home phone and cell phone and locks herself in the bathroom, calls 911. The 911 tape you can hear these 2 guys ransacking the house while she begs for the police to hurry...They realize someone's in the BR and instead of leaving they try to break down the door....Thankfully the police arrive prior to them getting in...They catch one guy and never catch the other.
It's good to be careful and have protection if needed...IMHO
