    Home Depot Scam Alert!

    A "heads up" for you and any of your friends who may be regular Home Depot customers like me.

    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 bequite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.

    Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20 or 21-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping items into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their br**sts 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 another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having #$% with each other.
    Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs "something" on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

    I had my wallet stolen December 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend as soon as I can buy some more wallets.

      I just last finished cleaning my desk from my grandsons drawing and now this. I need to figure out how to cover everything in plastic and still be usable.

            I don't believe that's true. I spent 23 hours at Home Depot yesterday, and they didn't show up.

              Ya suppose they'd settle for scraping the ice off my windshield?

              ...too funny!
