Just a follow up. You lucked out
[QUOTE=MichWinter15;7065945]Tried to pick up a thicker brunette / auburn WSW near central. Opened the door, but wouldn't get in and said she was looking to make some money. Told her I was just asking if she needed a ride and when she said no, I bounced. She's either new or a decoy, and I'm not chancing it.[/QUOTE]On 10/14 there was a sting operation set-up same location as always. Near Central. Decoy cute thick white girl, nicely stacked, on Florida Ave. Police (Impala dark tint across the street, and Dodge Durango, dark tint located near Proctor on the Ave). On this date the cars were positioned before the girl around 3 pm just in time for the men getting off work. Saw the cars parking / positioning on my way heading towards Dearborn, then saw the decoy stationed on the way back from Q Market. The give away, the decoy never moves or walks and is not "mobile" like the other walkers. Have seen several mongers get caught up in this operation (have posted). When she is "offered a ride" they head towards the service drive with lights blazing and a tow truck in wait. Your "Spidey senses" paid off. Play the lottery this week.
Re: Competing on the street
[QUOTE=Muffmonster469;7099589]Question for you guys.
Do you not mind picking up a girl when another monger is also trying to make the scoop and your cars are on the same street competing?
This morning I saw a mid 20's or early 30's WSW on Chalmers about 5 am, and she was walking down the side street to meet me, but then 3 other cars pulled onto the street. I simply won't pick up a girl with that much attention. I pulled away and let someone else have her.
Do you guys not worry about one of the cars being an under cover?
Just curious.[/QUOTE]I did this once, years ago. I was on the Ave one summer evening after work when I spotted the famous petite blonde Barbie; I pulled over sharply out of rush hour traffic to the curb and sounded my car's horn to divert her attention from the car she was headed for. I was driving a convertible with the top down, so she saw and recognized me from previous meetings, and her face lit up and she changed direction to my car. "I don't know who That guy was!" she exclaimed as she hopped into my car.
Would I do this again? Hypothetically, yes, for a girl I knew and liked. But I retired from the streetwalker scene a long time ago. Too risky.
