Beware of panhandlers
On the way home from dinner tonight, I wanted to stop at Bed, Bath & Beyond to pick up an item. My husband decided to stay in the car & wait for me. During the 10 - 15 minutes that I was in the store between 7:30 - 8:00 PM this evening my husband observed two different people approach customers in the parking lot asking for money. He could actually hear the conversation between a guy ON A BICYCLE tell a lone woman in her car that he was a Navy vet who had an eye appointment in Ocala & missed the bus back to Leesburg & asked her for money, & it appeared that she gave him some. The other incident was a different guy who approached a couple further down the lot, & they also gave him money. He then walked around the parking lot & then got into his car & drove off. I was shocked when he told me this & felt that people need to be aware that this is happening.
