Panhandling at the door

[trailmix 77]

So about a half an hour ago (9:30 p.m.), someone knocks on our door.

My Husband answers the door, there is a guy there. He says he is homeless and sleeping on the street and do we have any spare change.

Is this just some kind of random thing that happened tonight or has anyone else experienced panhandling up close and personal??

i'm thinking more like scoping out your house. was it quiet in your house and dark? he might have thought no one was home.

Sounds fishy. I'd call the police dept (not 911) and let them know. They may know something.

Back home what I've seen was people knocking on the door to offer to cut grass or do any odd jobs, or people telling a huge story of how their family member is sick and they need money to buy a ticket to go see them.

All the lights were on, we were playing music, definately knew we were here.

We live in Calgary, fairly large city, but we live 20 minutes from downtown, not like city center or anything.

If you don't want to let the police know or believe your house was being scoped, you don't need to justify it to us

maybe he was hoping a woman or kid would open the door, but your husband did. i'd go with the previous advice of reporting it to the police.

I probably should call the police but I won't, they are probably busy in crack alley. Just wondered if it was the norm and I was the only one who thought it was incredibly weird.

Oh and by the way, here is the kicker - my Husband gave them some change!

He!! Im waitin for someone to say your a jerk for not feeding him or putting him up in the guest room. Kick his ### to the curb. Call 911 theres always a vacancy at the wise guy hotel.

oh joy, if he was a legitimate panhandler he'll be back, and so will his friends.
