on arriving home at 4 p.m. a woman approached me saying 'they' were collecting money for a children's day tomorrow at st anne's home, roodebloem rd, woodstock. monies would go towards a jumping castle, face-painting etc. she had a piece of paper in her hand, with doodles drawn on it.
i asked her the 'phone number, she said she didn't know. i undid the locks and stepped into the garden - she said "448....." i said not to worry i'd look it up. while i was doing just that she called out that the office would be closed. but i rang the number anyway and it was answered almost immediately. the woman at st annes said she'd call the police as this con has done this before and being taken in for it. i ran outside but the con had made an es-cape (apologies to donovan and alice's restaurant). thanks james and cd19 for anwering the radio call. be on the lookout for a woman 25-32, about 5'8" (sorry i don't know the equivalent off the top of my head) with shiny, jet-black hair posing on behalf of st annes or another org. i guess the moral of the story is: 'phone and check credentials. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
