Just came from Target and they are camped out at the four way stop sign by Target and Burger King. Man holding sign and woman and kids sitting in the grass eating pizza. I haven't seen any for a few months.

Was it a green van with Florida tags? If so I booted them out of Prince William two weeks ago. You're welcome!

Roma gypsies. Organized Begging, shoplifting, pick pockets, and burglary are their trade. They have infested every major European city from Romania. This must be virgin territory over here for them. Stay as far away from them as possible

The ones that make me shake my head are the ones with plastic laminated begging cards. Like I can't guess that it's a business at that point, and not a sudden need...

Use your phone's camera to take a picture of them, and post it here, along with the date, time and location. Don't strip the EXIF data from the pictures, but do post anonymously.
Maybe we'll get lucky and some bored FCPD officer will stumble along this site and start collecting the intelligence you post.

They're everywhere. A white couple (who looked like they were around here) came up to us in the Walmart parking lot at Manassas Mall claiming to be homeless and asking for money. I saw the car they were driving, it was a far better than what I drive. Must be big money in begging for cash in the Walmart parking lot.

I used to see them at Fair City Mall all the time. They had a van unload the women and kids who would then fan out acoss the parking lot with their index cards. Since the cards state they don't speak English, it gets them off the hook as far as any verbal confrontations that might ensue.

It shall be unlawful for any canvasser, peddler, or solicitor to make any assertion, representation or statement of fact which misrepresents the purpose of his call, or use any plan, scheme, or ruse which misrepresents such purpose.
Claiming to be homeless, out of work, etc. would all imply they could be charged under D, right?

Section D is meant to cover cases of someone trying to claim they are making collections for something such as "Fill the Boot" or other charity causes. Section D is drafted so that you can't claim you're collecting for charity and pocket the money for personal gain, which is dabbles into fraud.
Whether you are homeless or not homeless is irrelevant as the underlying cause is for personal gain.

I called the police one day last fall when they were at the Target/Burger King stop sign while letting their toddler play in the street. The officer that called me back said they could do nothing about them (including child endangerment,) because that road is private property. Fairfax County Police would need a letter from the management company/property owner of the shopping center stating that they are trespassing. Once that is on record they could have them arrested in the future. Until someone can locate the management company/property owner and citizens complain to them there is nothing the police can do.

There used to be a guy begging at the light at Fair Lakes Pkwy and Stringfellow, he got into it with someone at Best Buy because he was begging from shoppers. Haven't seen him there, last year I did see a woman holding a sign with a kid at FairLakes. Best thing is to call the cops, park nearby and report the pan handlers. Wait for the cop to show up, then you can leave. I visit a friend in Rockville occasionally, there are pan handlers all over Rockville Pike, Democracy Blvd and Old Georgetown Road. I ignored one pan handler and she started banging on my car window asking for money, I rolled my window down and told her that the next time she banged on my car window...the hospital would have to surgically remove her coin can from her ass after I got through with her..she moved on. Some will even purposely block your car, cops really need to do something.

I've had similiar experiences myself. The whole thing is really starting to get out of hand, and the police really need to step up before someone gets hurt.

A Baker's Dozen
http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2008/11/a_bakers_dozen.html
Back in the old days, I had a successful bake-shop in Albany. I had a good business, a plump wife, and a big family. I was a happy man. But trouble came to my shop one year in the guise of an ugly old woman. She entered my shop a few minutes before closing and said: “I wish to have a dozen cookies.” She pointed to my special Saint Nicholas cookies that were sitting out on a tray. So I counted out twelve cookies for her.
The old woman’s eyes narrowed when she saw the cookies. “Only twelve?” she asked. I knew at once what she wanted. There were some bakers in town who sometimes gave an extra cookie to their customers, but I was appalled by the custom. What man of sense would give away an extra cookie for free?
“I asked for a dozen cookies, and you only give me twelve,” the woman said.
“A dozen is twelve, my good woman, and that is what I have given you,” I replied.
“I ordered a dozen cookies, not twelve,” said the old woman.
I was upset by this demand. I always gave my customers exactly what they paid for. But I was a thrifty man, and it was against my nature to give away something for nothing.
“I have a family to support,” I said stiffly. “If I give away all my cookies, how can I feed my family? A dozen is twelve, not thirteen! Take it or leave it!”
“Very well,” said she, and left the shop without taking the cookies.
From that moment, my luck changed. The next day, my cakes were stolen out of my shop, and the thieves were never found. Then my bread refused to rise. For a week, every loaf of bread I made was so heavy that it fell right through the oven and into the fire. The next week, the bread rose so high that it actually floated up the chimney. I was frightened when I saw the loaves floating away across the rooftops. That was the first moment I realized I had been bewitched. It was then that I remembered the old woman who came to my shop, and I was afraid.
The next week, the old woman appeared again in my shop and demanded a baker’s dozen of the latest batch of my cookies. I was angry. How dare she show her face in my shop after all the bad luck she sent my way? I cursed her soundly and showed her the door.
Things became worse for me then. My bread soured, and my olykoeks (donuts) were a disgrace. Every cake I made collapsed as soon as it came out of the oven, and my gingerbread children and my cookies lost their flavor. Word was getting around that my bake-shop was no good, and one by one, my customers were falling away. I was angry now, and stubborn. No witch was going to defeat me. When she came to my bake-shop a third time to demand a baker’s dozen of cookies, I told her to go to the devil and I locked the door behind her.
After that day, everything I baked was either burnt or soggy, too light or too heavy. My customers began to avoid my cursed shop, even those who had come to me every day for years. Finally, my family and I were the only ones eating my baking, and my money was running out. I was desperate. I took myself to church and began to pray to Saint Nicholas, the patron Saint of merchants, to lift the witch’s curse from myself and my family.
“Come and advise me, Saint Nicholas, for my family is in dire straights and I need good counsel against this evil witch who stands against us,” I prayed. Then I trudged wearily back to my empty shop, wondering what to do.
I stirred up a batch of Saint Nicholas cookies and put them into the oven to bake, wondering how this lot would turn out. Too much cinnamon? Too little? Burnt? Under-done? To my surprise, they came out perfectly. I frosted them carefully, and put my first successful baking in weeks onto a tray where they could be seen through the window. When I looked up, Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) was standing in front of me.
I knew him at once, this patron Saint of merchants, sailors, and children. He was not carrying his gold staff or wearing the red bishop’s robes and mitered hat that appeared on the figure I had just frosted on my cookies. But the white beard and the kindly eyes were the same. I was trembling so much my legs would not hold me, so I sat down on a stool and looked up at the Saint standing so near I could have touched him. His eyes regarded me with such sadness it made me want to weep.
Saint Nicholas said softly: “I spent my whole life giving money to those in need, helping the sick and suffering, and caring for little children, just as our Lord taught us. God, in his mercy, has been generous to us, and we should be generous to those around us.”
I could not bear to look into his eyes, so I buried my face in my hands.
“Is an extra cookie such a terrible price to pay for the generosity God has shown to us?” he asked gently, touching my head with his hand.
Then he was gone. A moment later, I heard the shop door open, and footsteps approached the counter. I knew before I looked up that the ugly old woman had returned to asked me for a dozen Saint Nicholas cookies. I got up slowly, counted out thirteen cookies, and gave them to the old woman, free of charge.
She nodded her head briskly. “The spell is broken,” she said. “From this time onward, a dozen is thirteen.”
And from that day onward, I gave generously of my baking and of my money, and thirteen was always, for me, a baker’s dozen.

There was one in the parking lot at Home Depot in Annandale the other day. She was actually young-ish, pretty, and well dressed. Had the note about needing to feed her kids and everything. She was hot enough she could earn some decent money on backpage if she really needs to feed them kids.

That young lady has been hanging around the area for a few month's, they must have a nest near by. Just wait for the van to pick her up and follow it.

There was a large black lady (holding in her arms what looked like a baby) begging in the parking lot of the Trader Joe's in Reston. As the baby never moved or made any noise, I could not determine if it was a fake doll or a real baby wrapped up in the cloth. The woman walked up and said she was hungry, and as I never carry cash, I reached in the bag of groceries I was carrying to the car and pulled out a big berry pie and offered it to her. "What's that?" she asked. I showed it to her. She refused to take it. That pretty well showed that she was offering up a lie and an illusion, so I suggested that she go over to the Virginia Department of Employment and sign up for work. She then simply shrugged and walked away back to the van she had been standing next to, to wait for another victim to come along. She probably needs money for a drugs habit.

This reminds me of that scene from "Scary Movie" where the bum asks the girl for money (a dollar), but she doesn't have any, so she gives him a sub. He gets mad and says "Give me a dollar bitch!", and then throws the sub sandwich right into her back. CLASSIC!
