This one from Jesse – second time this week we’ve heard about solicitors at fairly late hours:
I live at 30th Ave SW & SW Dakota (map) and my neighbor and I just had a 9:00pm visit from two individuals selling carpet cleaning services, exactly like other people have been reporting. I got a young, overweight african-american girl in a blue jacket and my neighbor got a young white male in a baseball cap. I told her I wasn’t interested and she backed off.
I called the police just to make sure they knew what was going on and afterwards I looked out my side window and saw a young man on Dakota looking like he was waiting for a pickup, standing in the rain. Sure enough a large white cargo van came by, picked him up and they took off down 30th SW. I called the police back and gave them the extra info and they said they’d have any patrol cars in the area keep a look out.
Just thought I’d let the folks in the area know.
Jesse
As mentioned in a report earlier today: Door-to-door soliciting IS LEGAL, provided solicitors follow a variety of city rules – you can read them here. All WSB coverage of readers’ door-to-door alerts is archived here.
