Safe to say that in the United Kingdom, where few private citizens are armed, this is the kind of crime that could happen again.

One old bloke had been hit four times!
He has a new Rollie on every appendage.

For a moment this sounded like the work of Hell’s Grannies.

IF they are on a golf course, they’re armed - you can do a lot of damage with a golf club.

Sounds like an inside job. The starter employee must be tipping them off after seeing the watches.

A ‘heads up’ for those men who may be regular customers at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Costco, or even Wal-Mart.

Last month I became a victim of a clever scam while shopping. Simply going to get supplies 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:
Woman washing car windshield scam

Two nice-looking, college-aged girls, in short shorts, will come up to your vehicle as you are putting away your purchases. They both start wiping your windshield with soap and water, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It’s impossible not to look).

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 in the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also, July 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 27th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.

What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men.

Warn your friends to be vigilant.

By the way, Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for $.99 at the Dollar Store and bought them out in three of their stores.

Also, you never get to eat at McDonald’s. I’ve already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from Lowe’s, to Home Depot, to Costco, etc.

So please, send this on to all the senior men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.)

It could be the women are owed ‘money for services’ and this is a convenient way to reimburse them.

I remember a buddy of mine came home from a business trip to New Orleans claiming somebody robbed him outside a bar and took his Rolex. I just looked at him and asked, “Got rolled by a hooker did ya?” (He was that type).

Can't just say "Gypsies"?
