My husband just sent this to me...sounds like a pretty serious scam! :hide:

A "Heads Up" for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers...


Probably a Christmas parking lot scam. Over the last month 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 23-24 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 T-shirts. 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 another Home Depot or Lowe's.

You agree and they get in 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 November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th & 24th. Also December 1st, 4th, twice on the 6th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this coming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful.

I tried that, but Rs9 always seems to end up with my wallet.

Don't you think that the guy would get the pic? :scratch_h Anyway, thanks for the heads-up Wendy

It only hurt once, from beginning to end.

Peace means having a bigger stick then the other guy.

Loosing may do little to your credibility, but quitting will destroy it.

Hmm, I think that my wallet needs to be stolen a few times this evening

This sounds like a variation of this urban legend:

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Windshield Washer Robbers

Though, were it true, it might be amusing to bring a fake wallet...

wdement, out of context I was thinking "That's awfully brave of her husband to admit to picking up scantily-clad women so many times!"

Are wallets on sale at Home Cheapo and Lowes?

I'm thinking, "Invest in a chain wallet? Hmmmmm."
