Just yesterday we were at my wife's sister's house. They live in a brand-new house in a brand-new neighborhood. Some dingus was going around to every single house leaving flyers advertising a tree trimming service and reminding everyone that it's hurricane season. The thing is, their wasn't a single tree in the entire neighborhood that was bigger than a year-old sapling.

I recently got warned that someone was offering tree trimming services in my neighbourhood as a way to see which houses were worth stealing from.

Sure, but that scam still wouldn't work in a neighborhood where nobody needs to call them.

Man, I hope that was just some dude that got paid to pass out fliers.
