Amazing. As a relative ostrich in these matters, I wouldn't have the time nor the inclination to take such a petty thing so far. The point of charity (and that's what a donation is) is to give freely with an open heart. I have no way to know if the begger is going to use my dollar for booze or porn instead of a sandwich but it ain't worth my time to follow him around and find out. I give with a clear conscience. If it turns out I've been ripped off, I'll let God deal with him.

Why do you ALWAYS make so much sense??? You're the BEST barometer around here, IMO... Good common sense:-)
