holiday scam

a "heads up" for those of us men who may be regular home depot customers. over the last month i became a victim of a clever scam while shopping for boating hardware. 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 breast 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 lowes.
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 on october 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th. also on november 1st, 4th, twice on the 6th, three times just yesterday, and most likely this coming weekend. so, please, tell your friends to be careful.

capt. patrick campbell-

Sounds like you are the repeat offender! (I first thought you were a slow learner, having "fell victum" so many times, but the opposite is obviously true!)

Hope you learned to get your money's worth by keeping the $$$ in the wallet minimalized and still got the service!

I wonder if the "Home Depot El-Peeko and Wallet Keepo Scam" is jumpin' around between the seats locally? Might have to check it out, carefully, of course!

I didn't notice, is it 4/1/2008 already???

LMAOAROTF outside the local HD...... (with my 'Red Enforcer Dome Light" hoping it finds an entrapped violator to enlighten)

Joe. :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I seriously doubt the validity of this supposed scam.

After reading this, I headed immediately for our nearest Home Depot (about 25 miles away). It took some extra time, 'cause I had to stop at the ATM to make sure I had some money in my wallet... and this is Black Friday, and the crowds are attrocious... but I digress.

After going to 3 Home Depot and 2 Lowes... nada. Oh, I walked through the parking lot, waving dollar bills and saying, "I wish I could get my windshield washed before I head to the next Home Depot." Still nothing.

Perhaps this is a localized situation? Capt. Pat, could you please sent the Lat/long of the home centers so I can plug this into the GPS and check it out. All in the name of a good neighborhood watch sorta thing.

Best wishes,
Jim B.

PS - Thanks for posting that - I love to start the day off with a good laugh! :mrgreen:

Jim, I think they may clean clocks too. May be translated differently there in TX, why don't you try "I wish I could get my clock cleaned" :shock:

Or maybe they're into hauling ashes :cry

Jeeze, every time I go to Home Depot, my truck gets mobbed by folks visiting the parking lot looking for jobs, and they sure as heck don't look like the ones you ran into.

In these parts, "getting your clock cleaned" means getting whupped in a fight. Don't think I'll go around looking for that! :wink:
 
Ok Tom that seems like an oversimplified solution to a very troubling situation. Next you will be suggesting that our wives should be carrying our wallets when we go to Home Despot or West Marine.:shock:
