Pregnant Woman Was Panhandling With a Boy in San Diego for ‘Months’ — but Imagine the Shock When a Bystander Saw the Car She Drove Away In

She had seen the woman, along with a young boy who may be her son, holding a “please help” sign outside a San Diego-area shopping center every weekend for two months, KGTV-TV reported. A man who may be her husband or boyfriend also would join them, Smith said.


“Lots of people gave them money,” Smith told KGTV. “Probably five people in five minutes gave them money.”

Recently Smith saw the woman, the man and the boy walk from their usual panhandling spot and drive off in a car — except it was most definitely not a junker.

“I thought, ‘Wow, a Mercedes Benz. It’s not even used — it’s not old. It’s a new Benz,’” Smith told the station.

After Smith drove from the shopping center, she said the offending Benz was right in front of her on the street.


“Here they are counting money, laughing and their little boy is not in a car seat or seat belt,” Smith told KGTV. “He’s all the way in the front seat with them.”


So the outraged Smith took photos of the car, as well as the license plate, and followed the trio to another shopping plaza.

“She sits there with the sign. He goes and parks the Mercedes,” Smith told KGTV. “Not less than five minutes here she is getting money from all these people.”

yeah, there's always going to be scam artists...

and people that are doing that and driving off in a new Cadillac are few and far between...

i heard about a guy in new york got busted in a way like that, but just because this happens does not mean everyone does it... but i understand the disappointment in something like this...

That's what I was thinking...on the flip side, its' the bad apples who embarass and insult others by their actions.

No just do not leave helping others to the government. But its not just a few bad apples but millions. We are losing billions in fraud against the American people every year who pay for these things. See when we the American people are generous and find a charity or individual scamming us we can do an amazing thing and stop giving to that person and that particular charity. But when government finds a scam we the people have no say in the matter when government usually does one of several things. Ignores the problem. Puts more money into a problem and thinks that is the solution every time. Or makes it such a huge bureaucracy hardly anyone can get help.
 
So then every man for himself in every aspect of life, huh? Okay. See how well that works.

That every man for himself and individualism created America. It works and worked out quite well. But Americas personal charity during that time did more good then instead of today.

Right as in it is factually true that we should not help anyone out in this country because of some people who will take advantage of the system?  I still don't agree with that.  I doubt you'll think the same way when you're old, you can't work, you're not hire-able, and all the social services in this country have been abolished.  Or god forbid you get sick or injured in life and can't find a way to pay off medical expenses.  I mean, screw all the people in this country who cannot fend for themselves, like those little kids who can't afford food because they're poor and lazy and don't work.  Pshh, they should get a job!
 
Umm, this woman was panhandling .

Can anyone please show me where in the article it says she is on government assistance?

This is what I was wondering.  It's possible she is on assistance, but it's also possible she's not.  After all, she drove away in a luxury vehicle with a gentleman at the wheel.  She probably makes more than enough for herself just sitting on the side of the road like that and doesn't need government assistance.  But I know that a few people in here have already made the assumption that she is getting financial aid for whatever reason.

It does not say it anywhere in the article. The point was if they have no problem ripping off the good hearted charity of the people millions are ripping off the government without blinking a eye.

Nobody is saying we should not help anyone specially the elderly and the children. But the public is throughly and completely brain washed it seems only our all powerful mother federal government can help anyone. No thank you I would rather die then be under that kind of enslavement they have created!
