There's also a little thing called a doorbell that could have sorted the situation out right quick. If that doesn't work, there's also the old fashioned cop technique called "knocking" on the door.

The doorbell would have been best IMO.
A loud knock, especially at night, gets my suspicions up. Seeing a flashlight shining in the windows at night is even worse.
