I will tell you one thing. Don't pay cash to those people. Use cards.
And what did you allow them access to your wallet for?
1) we've learned our lesson, if they only accept cash, we move on to the next guy
2) We were moving. I couldn't carry my purse with me and cart stuff in and out of my car. Looking back, I should have put my $ in my car, but hind sight is 20/20.
