And to my way of thinking "checking on a noise" doesn't necessarily mean going out for a look. I can look out the window. I can wait quietly and listen closely for further noises. It's been my experience over a lot of years that so far I've always been able to identify the noise as something innocuous without having to go wandering about.

Exactly. What some are also missing is the idea that if there is a problem it can best be solved also without going out for a look. Turn on the lights. Yell out the window "Get away from my stuff, I'm calling the cops!" Wait it out a bit to see if the noise can be ID'd. All sorts of options that solve the problem without wandering around increasing your danger.
