In today’s craigslist “stripper” news
Police seek link in two robberies involving strippers:
Police in the San Luis Obispo area of California are on the lookout for suspects who are believed to be involved in two robberies involving “strippers” that advertise on craigslist.
The San Luis Obispo robbery happened after two men called an exotic dancer, Princess Exstasy, they found on the online classified site Craigslist.
The dancer agreed to a price for a 30-minute performance, and one of the men gave her directions to their apartment in the 600 block of Chorro Street, according to a search warrant.
About 20 minutes later, someone knocked on the apartment door and two men barged in.
“One of the suspects hit (one of the victims) on the head and knocked him to the ground,” the search warrant showed. “One of the suspects pointed a gun at (the victim) and told him not to look at him.”
One assailant wore a black ski mask and the other a black hooded sweatshirt. They fished through the victims’ pockets before taking a wallet in the apartment. They left through the front door.
The stripper never showed.
The more recent robbery happened when a man called a stripper to perform about 4:30 a.m. at a motel in the 2400 block of Main Street in Morro Bay.
The stripper came to the room and performed for at least two men. She was paid $160 and then left, the victim told police, according to a search warrant.
Later that morning, two men forced their way into the motel room.
“The suspects then demanded money and exposed the butt of a 9 mm handgun, assaulted the victims, then left the motel with both of the victims’ money,” according to the search warrant.
One of the men suffered a broken nose, said Morro Bay police Detective Leslie Daily.
Police are still looking for two men they believe are involved in the crime.
Grace Rosemary, whose address is listed in court records as a San Luis Obispo post office box, was arrested on suspicion of robbery. Daily said she was connected to the crime but did not elaborate on her role.
The alleged stripper, Barbara Bowden Degennaro, 49, was also arrested in connection with the crime, according to Daily.
If you want to see strippers then go a strip club. What these victims thought they were getting were more or less hookers. And when you deal with criminals other criminal activity is likely to follow.

“When you deal with criminals other criminal activity is likely to follow.”
People who break the law are not necessarily bad people. Most people in the U.S. break the law in numerous ways on a regular basis — driving over the speed limit, jaywalking, “cheating” on taxes, failing to collect tax for items sold at garage sales, sidewalk sales and flea markets, failing to wear seltbelts, downloading copyrighted music from the Internet, using banned substances (many or all states have state anti-drug laws even if the federal “War on Drugs” is unconstitutional and therefore technically illegal.

This is just the home invaders gone high tech. They see the “erotic services” clients as more vulnerable then the random house were they could get shot and police alerted. These guys are banking on the fact that the customers will be too embarrassed to call police at that bit of leeway is what they are trying to take advantage of.
