> You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start

> I had my wallet stolen March 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again on the

> twice on the 16th &17th; and very likely again this coming weekend.

> So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage
> of us older men. Warn your friends to be very vigilant.

> Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for
> $.99 at the Dollar Store and bought them out in three of their stores.

> Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just
> running back and forth from Lowe's, to Home Depot, to Wal-Mart.

> So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to
