a nice kid who is in theater is trying to get passage to england to perform in "taming of the shrew".  he needs to raise the money.  he now lives with dad who is in our neighborhood.  could
we by 350 worth of books to donate?  would we give him cash? 

i paid him with a check for 110 worth of books.  we then checked the website and it was noted to be fraudulent.  we then followed the van, retrieved our check, closed the bank account, and called the sherif.  this group did not have a solicitation permit, lots of cash, and dual i.d.s.  we did not have
them arrested.  but we have wished we did.
