THIS IS SERIOUS!!

A warning for those of you who may be regular Bunnings customers.

This one caught me by surprise. Over the last severl months I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your timber and hardware. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonald's. You agree and they get in the backseat.

On the way, they remove all of their clothes and start making out. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you. While the one is keeping you distracted the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, then again on the 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also, December 1st, 7th, twice on the 8th, and again on the 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th. Then on January 6th, 11th, 14th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Target has wallets on sale $2.99 each

Shocking...absolutely shocking.

Please include address and directions.

Funny

I too spent some time in Bunnings over Christmas.
I was looking at the range of timbers they had in stock

This bloke came up to me very aggressively & was wearing a green apron & red shirt.(he obviously worked there)
He said to me " You want decking mate"

So when he was close enough I slipped a few into his ribs & smacked him in the mouth.
I left my basket there & bolted.

It is becoming obvious that there are some real types working at Bunnings.

I think Skip tracked 'em down Derek?

Apparently they work for Saltbush Bill.
