A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers. This one caught me by surprise.

I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy tops.

It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'no' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonalds.

You agree and they get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen January 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also February 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for 2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K-Mart and bought them out. Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Home Depot.


(mods, I realize this could have gone in the joke forum. If you think it needs to be there, please move it.)

Good joke. I was totally sold about the scam in the 1st 2 paragraphs. Good lead in.

I'm getting in my car now. I should reach Houston by mid-week to help you deal with that scam. Terrible thing.:D

They are very good. They got me 7 times Friday and 5 times Saturday.

I wasn’t able to find them on Sunday.

I've had something similar happen in both Tokyo and Bangkok, numerous times. It must be part of an international organized crime ring.

Come to think of it, I need to make a Home Depot run tomorrow. Maybe my wife would like to come along :) :) :)

Edit: Gotta get rid of the car seats in the back seat. You know, to make more room for the cargo.
