It's a good reminder to myself to keep things in perspective with the coming seasonal shopping madness. Joel

Dec 06, 2012 08:31 | #10 Yeah, the officer's heart was in the right place. Too bad the guy was again shoeless on the street the next day. It is just his pan handling con to get more money or nice things he can barter or sell. Cameras: 7D2, S100

The next day I heard there was a twist to the story. If I recall correctly the "bum" is not homeless. He has a home. Keyan is right, this "bum" was out on the street, shoeless, again.
