Even in a system that developes sentient life the process takes billions of years, not many planets have that long in the goldilocks zone. Of those that do only a certain portion would develope space flight. Of those few that do, sublight speed is likely to be limiting even to those with the capability to build wormholes like the Viser-Kramer gates since to control them they would need to build something on either end which means probably 0.1-0.4 C travel at best system to system. This means somewhere between 5 and 50 million years to explore the galaxy. Most species will either go extinct or evolve into something else in that time and social cohesion to maintain such an ambition is unlikely. Asuming some begin the process they are unlikely to complete it since the energy requirement is just so damn high.
Now given the unlikely event that this has happened consider the vast differences in stellar evolution, most of these events will be offset in time by a considerable amount of time, probably measured in millions of years. If anything comes here it is likley a robotic probe or a automated gate building ship... more likely the former. They will have better things to do than to abduct Vern the plumber and probe him anally.
