A 'heads up' for those fishermen who may be regular customers at Lowe's, Home
Depot, or Ace Hardware.
...
Here's how the scam works:
Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come over to your car or truck as
you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping
your windshield with a rag and Windex, almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts, if you know what I mean. When you thank them and offer them a tip,
they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's.
You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way to McDonald’s, they start
undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other
one steals your wallet.
Doyle had his wallet stolen on September 4th, 9th, 10th, and twice on the 15th, 17th, and 20th.
Doyle gets replacement wallets from Walmart where they are on sale for $1.99 each. He figures “why buy expensive wallets when I have been a crime victim so often?” Smart guy, that Doyle.

Was that Billy who was with Doyle, for each episode of theft? Doyle did'nt say, but Billy is often a cling-on, isn't he?

You know, Doyle didn't say where he lived. But I've seen similar scams, sans girls here in the Portland area.

I'm sure you would Mike. The scam around here comes with non english speaking day "workers ". Yours sound like much more fun!
