OK, not real high drama but we had yet another solicitor this evening on our block. I asked to see his permit and although he claimed to have one, he was unable to produce said permit. Since he was rude to me I called Alexandria’s finest (using the non-emergency number of 703 838 4444) and they sent not one but two cars within only a few minutes. I don’t know if they caught the guy or not but I’m sure he won’t be back.
This latest miscreant claims to be a representative of a group called “Environment Virginia” – I’ll contact them tomorrow to explain how we don’t want solicitors and that the man claiming to represent them was quite rude. I took pictures of him and they’re kind of funny. Take a look:
For the record, we here at NAG maintain a list of organizations we do not like because they send solicitors and leave trash on our porches. This list is here.
