I remember that episode, the old ones with Jeremy Brett, my favorite.
There was an expose’ on TV a few years ago that showed a “homeless” woman driving her new car to a spot and then walking a couple of blocks away to panhandle on the street...After a few hours, she walked back to her car and drove to her very nice two bedroom condo...
The TV people stopped her and she did an interview...She claimed she panhandled between 80 and 100 thousand dollars each year and paid no taxes...
