OMG-Scary-OT

((((Hugs)))) on the way.

So glad they located this guy and arrested him! Barbara in HOT Central FL

I am so glad too. We all need to be more careful about the people we let into our homes. In Ca you can check online for contractor license info. Hiring folks that has references instead of ads is a bit safer but there just is always can be a risk. Go find DD and give her a big hug. She probably can use it! Taria

So, we had a kidnapping of a young 18 year old woman from a coffee stand right arounds it's closing time of 8:30 one night about six weeks ago. She is still missing. Today they announced an arrest of a "person of interest" in Texas. Yes, all that ways away. That doesn't bode well for the young woman obviously as she is still missing.

The scary part to us is that we just found out from our daughter that this same guy, who is a builder/home repair person, WAS IN HER HOME back in December to do an estimate for some work. He never called back with the estimate, even after repeated calls by our daughter. I AM SO GLAD!

Still trying to take some of this in and taking deep breaths and am so relieved.

That's so scary it just makes your heart stop. SO very grateful he never called back to your DD. There's a felon scam going on here and I just happened to be alert to it. 'Nice guys' in new truck with lights on the top and legitimate 'looking' business i.d. on the doors. They appear and offer old folks some sort of bargain. I was at the sm and watching for incoming hummingbirds and saw the scammers drive to our pasture and approach Mr. Esther. I picked up the cell phone and stepped out front with the dog. Really quickly, they bid him goodbye and sped away. They had said they were wanting to pave the drive to the pasture. Now really? Do you know anyone who has a paved drive to a pasture? It's a different world we live in. How we wish it could be different, at least for our children. Polly

Very scary! Glad she 'escaped'.

Hoping the missing lass turns up soon...
