Re:Odd story about Katrina victims. (Score 2, Interesting)

I have seen this happen in Houston. A homeless guy outside of a convenient store claimed he was from New Orleans and needed some money to get to a Red Cross shelter. The store clerk notified me and everybody else that gave him the benefit of the doubt that he lives in Houston and has for a long while.

It sucks that people would take advantage of people's generocity in such dire circumstances.
