In our neighbourhood, we don't have a high crime rate.  Despite that,

call the cops.  The fact that everyone has locks on their doors does
not make it all right for someone to go around from house to house to
see if they're all locked.

 However, it's not illegal, AFAIK.  It's only illegal if you enter.  Either
 that, or I'm gonna go prosecute some Girl Scouts.

 More relatedly, is there some sort of obligation with IPv6 to move all of
 your NAT'ed hosts away from NAT?  Just because you can doesn't make it a
 good idea.  I agree, NAT != security, but it does give one a single point
 to manage those hosts behind it.
