Men Victims Of Home Depot/Lowe’s Parking Lot Crime

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots.
Well, now vicious parking lot crime has hit the male population.
A ‘heads up’ for those men who may be regular Lowes or Home Depot customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has 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:
Two seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over to your car as you are packing your trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say, ‘No’ and instead ask you for a ride to McDonald’s.
You agree and they get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen May 7th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also June 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 23rd, twice already today and very likely again this upcoming Monday.
What a horrible way to take advantage of decent, helpful men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.
Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at Dollar General and the Dollar Store.
Seems like no one is safe anymore.
