You never know who might ring your doorbell. Many years ago when I was living in Santa Barbara a young kid rang the bell and was selling cookies or candy. He said it was a fundraiser for his school. He even had a badge that read "Joe Smith" such-and-such fundraiser program. I asked him what school. He mumbled something, no school name I recognized. So I decided to follow this kid after he left. He met up with a group a couple of blocks away, waiting for their ride. Some guy in Los Angeles had offered them money to ride up to Santa Barbara and sell the candy/cookies. No fundraiser, just a few kids trying to make and few bucks while some guy was making a lot selling 25 cent candy bars for a buck. I think all the cops did was tell them to move along, they probably hit Ventura and Thousand Oaks on the way home.
