    Door to door begging:eek:

    First time I have ever seen anything like this in my life, my heart went out to the fella but at the same time, it begs the question, our we safe in our own homes

    How can society protect families when times like these, it would take much for things to get nasty.

    Can the politions protect us from the mess they made

    Door to door begging is nothing new.


    This should probably be moved to a different forum but for the life of me I can't think of a more appropriate forum for it!

    Even during the height of the boom I had people coming to my door begging. Nothing new really.

    A few years ago travelers called to the door, a woman begged, "any clothes or money for the baba", "wheres the baba" my mother replied, "out on the cart". I looked out the top window and saw a fresh Toyota Landcruiser waiting outside the gate.

    With a new 60" Plasma TV in the back?
