May 10, 2005 Soliciting Books for Boys Club on Hodur Court

Did a young man come to you door tonight? He was on Hodur Ct.
He introduced himself as somebody’s son from around the corner. He mumbled so you couldn’t determine exactly whose son he was. Most likely he was the son of a gun. (It was likely a ploy to gain our trust.)

He claimed to be selling books, but had no order forms, only a booklist/pamphlet without prices. When we said we weren’t interested in buying books, he said we could give to the local Boys/Girls Club where his mother works. (Oh yes, the mention of dear mother again!) She must be so proud of him!

He claimed he lived right around the corner, had no ID, and no doubt was telling fibs.
My husband asked him which Boys Club his mother worked at.

Apparently this was a trick question which caught him off guard, cause the guy looked down and then away (you could tell he was stalling for time to think of a good answer,) after some hesitation, he responded with, “Oh you know…the one over there on Jackson!”

After some more chatting, my husband asked, “Where did you say your mother lived? This was another trick question. He mumbled and mispronounced the name of a street nearby.

He had a hard time making eye contact after that. I called the cops to come question him and persuade him off our street and out of our area.

There is no such street named Jackson. I also researched Boys and Girls Clubs of America and there is no club in PH or Concord for that matter! The one in Mtz. is on Alhambra. Why am I not surprised?
