I do not know , what do you think ? 
Was out doing a bit of xmas shopping in a shopping centre when this old man approached me , looked ok , white beard , red suit that looked well worn , he asked me if I had a shopping list for xmas and when I said yes he offered to deliver all my items and on xmas day as well !
All I had to do was give him my CC details and leave my backdoor open on xmas eve , late night , and all would be revealed on xmas morning ! he even gave me some tablets that would make it a very quiet night so we would not be disturbed !
Now I am not so sure ...............

Go for it. He did likewise for me Last Christmas and completely kitted the house out with a full upgrade. The only drawback was he stole a mince pie and drank some of my sherry.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

Yes, I have come across these ex-Tesco car washers from Lapland trying to branch out into new activities - tell the Border Agency, you don't know who to trust.0

That's the most unconvincing excuse for drug dealing I've heard.
