Yes, same here. On and off over recent months, we've had kids ringing the doorbell usually around 1030pm, 1130pm. Ditto for some of our neighbours, some of whom live alone.
Not a big deal of course, but possibly like you our little one's get a fright. I've been away recently and my wife was home alone, she wasn't massively impressed when it happened then and said she was a bit frightened to be woken up with the doorbell ringing at night.
I recently installed 4 miniature CCTV's, motion sensors and IR lighting around our house. I've now identified the culprits, and it turns out we know exactly who they are. All locals, 'young' teenagers, all in the same school and hang out together in the skate-park on a Friday night. All from respectable families too - if the parents knew, they would not be happy.

So tell the parents.
Or the police.
Or both.
Parents can't be that responsible if their 'young teenagers' are running around at 11:30pm.

@R - I haven't "told the parents" since I was about 6 years old!!
Other more adult ways to deal with the problem, and knowing who they are, with evidence, and knowing what they get up to before and after, is actually more powerful than simply telling their parents.
Police? I can't remember the last time I saw a police officer in Liphook. I don't think they will be too concerned about kids ringing doorbells - I'd rather they spent their time and energy on real criminals.

Not sure what you're thinking of Paul, but steady on mate, they're only kids! Maybe stick to the tried and tested 'tell the parents'
These home cctv cameras have really killed knock down ginger, stupid little game for drunk little boys it was all the rage back in the sixties!

@ Paul - there is a difference between the occasional childish antics the likes of you and I might have done when we were kids, and teenagers the size of adults repeatedly hammering on your doors and windows late at night.
Anyway, it's resolved now and everyone is fine.
