We just learned that the Carlsbadistan Police department has its own Gypsy hunter. According to a story in the North County Times Detective Patricia Parra (not pictured right) is looking into “eight reports of home and car repair scams from elderly victims since October.”
Parra, who specializes in fraud and crimes against the elderly, became aware of scams associated with ethnic Gypsies several years ago and says she has been expanding her expertise ever since, . . . She is quick to say that individuals should not stereotype or hold prejudices. . . . But she said she has found, through her investigations and arrests, that most home and auto repair scams that follow a specific pattern have been committed by people who consider themselves ethnic Gypsies.
Do not steal our tears, gypsy.

Carlsbad is lucky to have such an aggressive officer looking out for the community. If all agencies were as aggressive against this real fraud,
often committed against the most vulnerable, the theft of enormous amounts of money and goods would be slow to a trickle.
