it's a simple con, really

HE'S NOT EVEN YOUR NEIGHBOR!

A man claiming to live nearby goes to people's doors, claiming to be in some sort of "pickle" and needing a few bucks.

He came to my door Christmas Night '06, claiming he broke down and needed money for a tow truck. He got me for $10.00.

He gave a slightly different version to a friend, who lives a mile away, just one month ago. He took him for $20.00.

Would you believe he hit me up again, just today. Before he could finish his "speal", I told him to go away and never come back because I knew what he was up to. He sped away in his older black Toyota 2door.

The man is approx 5'6, 150 lbs, mid-late 40s,stringy gray hair, with bad or missing teeth.

Known target neighborhoods are from First/Cedar and Ashlan/Dakota.
