Fair warning

Normally I'm not the kind to pass along this sort of stuff. In fact, I usually search snopes.com and then reply to all in hopes the offending sender will take me off their mailing list, if not think twice (or once even) before spreading garbage. I don't think my mom ever got the hint, but she no longer has a computer so the result is the same.

But with today's announcement that the local Krispy Kreme would make way for an Arby's -- way to go Cedar Rapids! -- I deemed it a public service to suggest there might be other places in your town to satisfy your sugar craving. If you're a Home Depot customer -- or just a concerned citizen -- read on:

Subject: FW: Watch out for this scam

A "heads up" for those of you who may be regular 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.

Here's how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the 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 another Home Depot.

You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, and 24th. Also December 1st, 3rd, twice on the 7th, three times just yesterday and next Thursday.

So be careful
