Talking I was scammed at Lowes!

A "heads up" for those men who may be regular Lowe's customers. 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 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 assets 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 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 May 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th. Also June 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, three times just yesterday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.

Too bad it's a little bit cold here for that kind of activity this time of year. Home improvement has never been so interesting. Time to get ready for Spring cleanup!!

Hmmm, might have to go check tomorrow. WX has been real nice down here. Still in the 80's. Probably should go buy some more wallets too.

This is exactly why I buy wallets in bulk at goodwill, I keep the wallet with my cash in my sock, the empty decoy is in my pocket.

Whats this about driving them to another Lowe's? Drive them to the woods and show them your new shovel, then demand "favors" in exchange for the trip back to Lowe's.

Now that's just one of the many reasons I like Lowes better than Home Depot....the gals who do this at Home Depot are dogs compared to the Lowes parking lot babes.

They got my credit card, but that's all right- they're spending less than my wife!
