I'd never respond to pleas like that. I've been scammed even in
person... you know those people on the streets with the "Will work for food signs". Many if not most of them will either do it for "kicks", use it for drugs/alcohol of just do it because they don't have to get a real job. I once gave a man a food certificate and he wanted cash!!!! Amazing. If this person is speaking the truth, there are things you can do. Go to local agencies like the Red Cross who if they can't help, will direct you to another agency that can.

This fraud message reminds me of an incident that happend in Scarborough a
few weeks ago. A few weeks ago actor Mike Myers was here in Toronto to get his star on the Canada's Walk Of Fame, receive a key to the city for promoting Toronto on Jay Leno during the SARS, and the unvealing of a street named after him in his home town of Scarborough. Well a couple of days later the street sign was stolen. It was just a temporary sign, not the official street sign. Well a few days after that the steet sign was found. The person who stole it, lives in the town of Bowmanville (just outside of Toronto) and was stupid enough to display it in his living room window for everyone to see. Read the article at the Toronto Star's web site. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...=1057183814111 Sincerely, Stephen "Mary Marshall Fowler" wrote in message news:MtiOa.173$ye4.316@sccrnsc01...

The story in and of itself is pretty comical but the fact that the police
'seized the sign and took it in for forensic identification' adds a whole different level of comedy to it. -- Michael Kasmar Registered Dealer # 237 of the UACC http://www.AutographPros.com "Autographs" wrote in message news This fraud message reminds me of an incident that happend in Scarborough a few weeks ago.

LOL great story. When I was 14, I stole (along with some juvenile
delinquent friends) some street signs during a dare. Ended up getting caught as we all do and would highly recommend people NOT do this. Even a missing street sign like that means someone is looking for it, can't see it, looks longer and is distracted to cause an accident. Not as bad as me taking a Yeild sign, dead end sign, one way sign and yield sign, but bad too. I was told the fine was $500 per sign back then... I can't even begin to imagine how much now! Plus, I remember a case where kids got killed and someone went to jail for stealing those signs. Still, most crimianals get caught from stupidity. Glad to see the trend continues!
