On Monday, October 25, 2010, at a home in Mays Pond, vicinity of 180th St SE and Brook Blvd, a lady with some random kids (the homeowner was not sure if they were hers) came to the door looking for donations. She said she just lost her job and needed diapers for her kid. The homeowner said she contradicted herself a few times and the homeowner got a weird feeling.
Has anyone had a recent experience similar to this? Please let us know.
Note: Burglars frequently knock on the front door of houses to see if anyone is home. If no one answers, they knock down the door and take what they can. If someone does come to the door, they may use some sort of claim, often flimsy, like they are selling something, looking for someone or for an address. Recently, KOMO 4 ran an article about burglars in the Montlake district of Seattle who have been using this ploy: http://udistrict.komonews.com/content/burglars-use-feeble-ploy-case-montlake-homes.
It’s hard to know if the lady truly was in need. But if someone shows up at your door with what seems to be a flimsy story, call 911 and let the Sheriff’s Office know about them.
