No I am not begging. Couldnt believe what I saw today. Up the avenue where I work there was 2 young kids and a bloke (looked a bit druggyish) doing penny for a guy. Well he was opposite our shop and when any other kids came and set up their penny for a guy he swore at them and told them that this is his pitch so f...... off. Was keeping an eye on him and everytime there was money in their box he emptied it straight into his pocket..

I am doubtful that they were even his own kids. didnt look like they were. But you just dont know do you. If I hadnt been working then I maybe would have phoned the police to tip them of about him. Should think he is known to them going by his appearance.
