Consumers and Realtors be on Alert… not every one seems to have had a nice holiday, and there are predators out there… please take this seriously, your safety is at stake…

You can never be too safe, and with crazy people out there, it pays ever more to be careful… here is the content of an email that just came through from the Rhode Island Association of Realtors… Please pay attention, and call the police if you encounter this guy… of course, his clothing may have changed by now… 

Let us know how some of you would handle this challenge. 

Dear REALTOR:

Please be on the lookout for the following person and do not hesitate to contact the police immediately if he enters your office.

We have received reports from the Kent Washington Association of REALTORS and REALTOR offices about a suspicious man, who identified himself as “Gary” and is driving a dark colored Honda or Toyota with Maryland license plates.   He has visited at least several offices in South County today and insisted on viewing luxury homes immediately.  He claimed to work for the CIA and made personal comments to female agents and employees, asked them whether they were married, physically touched them, and stormed out of the office when they would not leave immediately to view properties with them.  The police are looking for him to serve him with “no contact” orders.  He has been ejected from at least two restaurants today.

Here is a description:

- He may use an alias - his name is Gary.

- White, age 56.

- Lt brown hair, slightly receding hairline.

- 5’8”, wearing a black leather jacket with a stained gray T shirt that says “V.T.”

- Has glasses, does not always wear them.

- He’s driving a dark colored Honda or Toyota with Maryland license plates.

Please be careful!
