The Con From “The Sting”
Delray Beach, FL
A man approached a woman who lives in the 2100 block of Linton Lakes Drive and told her he found a package. Another woman walked up to them and told him to open the package, which contained thousands of dollars in cash and bonds. The man acted like he wanted nothing to do with it and the second woman suggested they split it. She said she would give the man $1,000 if he’d split the money from the package. The first woman also agreed to give the man $1,000 if he’d divide the money. She drove to a bank with them, withdrew $1,100 and gave it to the man and the other woman, who then took off without splitting the money from the package with her. She went back to the bank crying, but a bank employee told her nothing could be done.

Note for Daisy: “Daisy, gone to Floriday to not deliver a package. Jr’s with me. Ma has the rest of the kids. Hope your day went well. That toxic plume on the freeway didn’t have anything to do with you, did it?
Anyway, back in a couple days with a little extra spending cash. Love, Sly.”
Mike, I don’t think I can be there for your next delivery…if you want to help on a job, though, I think I can toss ya an extra thou or so…

I’d love to help, Sly, but the chef shanghaied me into helping out with the mule roast. Unfortunately, that “candy” you gave him didn’t lessen the amount of work that needed to be done, just his desire to do it himself…
