It's been a few weeks since I saw any. Maybe the weather is getting too cold?

Are you serious, there are gypsies in Nova?

I've lived here 20+ years and never seen a gypsy.

Oh yes, you used to normally see them over at Fairfax Circle near Peter Pan. They used to gather in that parking lot and then head out all around the area. Fair Lakes seems to be their more recent place to beg for money.

You must not have a driveway. They pester me about twice a year with their driveway sealant scam. You have to keep a sharp eye out because while one keeps you busy with his sales pitch the other goes around to the back door and goes in to steal you stuff.

That Explains it. I have a concrete driveway, no asphalt to seal.

We got gypsies all the time when we lived in England - they'd set up camp pretty much anywhere there was public land, even if they had to dismantle a stone wall to get into a field. I was amazed that the cops had so much trouble running them off but apparently there are rules about doing this, complicated rules apparently, as some groups camped out for the whole summer. Petty crime would go up so eventually the cops would do something, but as soon as it got cold, they'd move on. Was so weird to see that this lifestyle persists, anywhere.

Speaking of driveway scams.

On a Sunday evening about 5 I was hauling some stuff out to the end of my driveway for pickup.

Two guys in a beat up pickup stop and ask if I want my drive way sealed. I said how much and the guy goes into some long song and dance about how much work it is and that he has some special stuff to put on the cracks.

So I say write up a proposal and I'l consider it, then I'll get a couple of other estimates." He follows me back to my back yard as I am hualing limbs and stuff out to the curb.

When I won't budge on needing a proposal written out he gets pissed off and says something like "thanks for wasting my time"! I never asked him to stop in the first place.

Laughed my ass off!

The "sealant" is used motor oil. It shines until the first rain then washes off.

They don't have to beg 24/7, they are in NoVA not a country where people are aware of them and their ways. Stealing and begging here is probably very easy compared to where they came from.

About a month ago in Annandale I had 2 gypsies offering to repair a dent on my car, I said no, they told me they would do it for free and to just give them a gift. They didn't stop begging to fix the dent til I drove away. haven't seen any since.

Saw a gypsy today. Came into Five Guys at the intersection of 50 & 29. He was doing the "mute" act where he just walks up to everyone in the place and shows them a note written on an index card. Something on it about trying to feed 2 kids.

Nobody gave him anything. I thought about punching him in the face though.

What restaurants do the gypsies like to eat at on their proceeds from panhandling?

Saw some Irish gypsies at a Ruby Tuesday in Woodbridge a year ago. It was 4 families of them with their kids running around all over the damn place and staring at me while I took a piss in the bathroom.

I saw him at Mcdonald's once and I took a picture and my flash went off accidentally and he got mad. He wanted my phone and he said he will meet me outside when I was done eating and he wasn't there

Two girls with a sign at Pentagon City Mall escalator entrance. Both were dressed nicely too--so much for pretending to be needy.

Well..I just dont know.. Are these 'Gypsys" ?? They do look like some of the "Lot Lizards" hanging round the truck stops.

Or are these Hotties Jail Bait ?? their pictures were released by the Fairfax Co. Police Dept after all.

Apparently they are alive and well in Fairfax County. My parents were scammed today by a man calling himself Rambo Frank. Sealing their driveway with oil based sealant and charging them $1400.00 to do so. These guys approached my dad who has alzheimers while mother wasn't at home but when she returned they demanded this money. Filing a police report and stopping payment on the check.

There are at least eight Unlawful Detainer cases that are being heard this month alone for the Demetro and Marks families. Probably more for some of the other family names. They are around, and scamming landlords as well.
