Guy knocks on door
I just had a person knock on my door asking if I had a gold cart for sale. He was driving a VW with a strange plate It has a W surrounded by blue and the word FAN at the end.
I dont have a golf cart for sale. |
OK, wouldn’t anybody knocking on you’re door that you don’t know be strange? Maybe he got the wrong address?
|
Could have been a ruse to see if anyone was home.

Access Denied If so, it isn't strange at all. |

Sorry. Couldn't resist. |
No, it was on the back of his auto and it was just the letter W inside a square in a field of blue. Then there was another letter and the word fan at the end.
|
Not when he said He was told there was a golf cart for sale at my address. He then said my address.
|
Scam either soliciting something or scoping the house to see if anyone’s home to do something worse

Or, they could have made an honest mistake. The way the houses are numbered here, I have been known to go to the wrong address. Trust your gut. If it told you, scam, it probably was.

Here's a couple more: Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water. I love supporting the community. I hate those people who knock on your door and tell you you need to get "saved" or you'll "burn".. Stupid firemen. (I take no credit for the above "humor". The 127+ Best Door Jokes - ↑UPJOKE↑ ) |
I had a gorgeous naked woman knock on my door with a delicious looking casserole dish in her hand and a bottle of red wine under her arm, then I woke up from my dream and had a cup of coffee and a hard boiled egg for breakfast.

If you take this guy seriously which you should, then this is a great reason to have a camera doorbell at your house to record these things and then give them to the police. We all seem to forget that we are easy targets in today's world especially since we think there's no crime here

A comment above reminded me of an interaction I had a few weeks ago. As I was walking out my driveway a woman walking down the street struck up a conversation with me. We had a pleasant chat for a few minutes and I asked what she was looking for. She said she was looking for house number xxxx where she was supposed to be picking something up.
It only occurred to me later that the number didn't exist on my street. I thought it was an innocent mistake at the time but maybe it wasn't. Maybe looking for house number xxxx was another version of "looking for the golf cart that was for sale" and was just an excuse to be studying the houses in the neighborhood. |
