I hear ya MB. Last night we kept hearing a noise like something hitting the outside of the house. After about the 3rd time I grabbed my house pistol (Beretta PX4 Storm/W 20 round mag and Streamlight tlr or trl light and went outside. Funny how my academy training kicked back in and each time I went around a corner I "Sliced the pie" and checked around the vehicles before I turned my back on them and I even shined the light up in a large tree next to the house. Nothing, nada. Both out buildings were clear as well. Only thing I could figure out is maybe a couple rabbits playing around (saw them in front of the garage door) maybe jumped up and banged into the door. Needless to say I slept in the recliner the rest of the night with the pistol next to me.
