Agreed. If I found a note like that through my letterbox then I'd appreciate their vigilance. If I found them strolling around in my living room I'd think they'd overstepped the mark.
Back in my first year at Uni I was on the ground floor and once left my window open while I popped to the shop. When I came back campus security had put a leaflet through the window saying to be aware that leaving it open left it open to intruders who could have easily entered. That was fair enough and I got the message, I wouldn't have needed for them to climb through the window and take a picture.
