I'd rather see them in court, for the next ten years, than out on the streets and scamming good hearted people.

It's a business decision.. Basically the lawyers would cost a heck of a lot of money that the business will never be able to get back from them. Arrest for fraud is the only thing that would work under these circumstances.

The simplest and most effective solution wouldn't be exactly legal.. As for the 2nd best, I doubt that Peel will be sending patrols looking for those bums
 
Here's an idea... stop feeding the pan handlers...


There are more and more popping up because it's a lucrative scheme. It certainly pays a lot better than minimum wage at a warehouse and its tax free.
 
Well we don't live in Brazil do we?
 
I stopped giving money to people who just sit there and beg. People that actually try to do something, like a guy with an amputated arm playing a guitar I saw over the weekend - no problem. You can see the amount of money the guy makes doing what hes doing but at least hes not waving his 1 arm around begging for money.
For people wondering how he played the guitar? Well... His left arm was cut off at the elbow and he was wearing a ceramic cup over it and somehow playing it. That was impressive.

Another thing, who leaves their wallet in someones car when they go to a party??

I've seen the same beggars begging for money at the same intersections in Vaughan for years... Many holding signs saying that they're hungry/starving while there is a food bank about 20 mins down the road. Riight.. I sure believe their story and many changes of clothes...

The clothes thing reminded me of something. There used to be a guy who sat on the ramp from The Gardiner to Lakeshore east, at Yonge, begging for money while wearing new Jordans and a $400.00 replica JR jacket.

This weekend while I was walking in downtown Ottawa in front of a shelter with my gf and another couple, a young guy sticking out of the whole crowd/line up there spoke up and said "spare change for a bum?" while holding a blackberry and listening to music sitting on the hand rail. I responded saying, sorry, I don't have any spare change as we walked by. He ended up yelling out "Hahahaha! I probably make more money in a day than you do in a week!". Yeah... Of course he was a ********* in his early 20s. That was probably the reason why he was sitting there alone while everyone else was in groups for the most part.
 
I had some meth-fiend woman come up to me around 10-11:00pm at a really sketchy variety store here in London.

She starts telling me about how she needs bus fare. The problem I found with her story was that she was riding a bicycle. We didn't have bicycle carriers on the busses in London here, yet.

I call ******** on her, and she says the bus fare is for her kid. I ask where the kid is and she says back at the bus stop.

I start laughing at how ****ed up her story is as I get into the Jeep and shut the door, thank god I wasn't on the bike... because this psychopath decided it was a good idea to then hork a massive loogie across the hood of the Jeep.

Thank god it was my wife's Jeep.
