Panhandling is rampant in this country, including right here in the Tri-State. If you have ever exited the Lloyd at Green River Road, you see the panhandlers under the overpass. Some panhandlers are truly people in need, but some are far from needy and are using the tactic as a means to make an easy living. It is extremely difficult to separate the needy from the greedy unless you have a keen eye, or the panhandler does something stupid to blow their cover....like get into their Mercedes Benz and drive off.

That is exactly what happened in California, when a young, pregnant mom was panhandling on street corner with her young son sitting next to her. She was collecting quite a bit of money from heartbroken motorists until one woman saw the panhandler and her son get into a Mercedes and drive off.....whoa!!!

The woman follows the Mercedes to another spot where the pregnant mom gets out her sign and starts collecting. The woman decided to take pictures and when the mom saw her, threatened her with a huge rock. Another witness called 911 and police ran the license plate of the Mercedes, which came back to a swanky San Diego apartment complex.

This is absolutely outrageous and appalling. Unfortunately, this is why most people, me included, are so hesitant to give money to panhandlers, especially at street corners because you just don't know. See for yourself below and make your own judgement.
