I love how when ever they interview people “ in the field” they always have to “wait a minute “ while they finish up with some task and usually help out somehow . These are such great stories 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎

June 12, 1952…. 70 years later : still fresh still interesting for a full 30 minutes. The grifters still work on fraudulent donations. Thanks for the KZbin post 👍

$250 bucks in the early 50’s was a good chuck of cash . Smokes were Mabey a nickel a pack . Gas .10 cents a gallon . Yea $250 would go a long way . Sad people have been taking the easy route fir years I guess. You are spossed to work for your living .. not rip people off . Thank you for putting these great stories up 👍🏼

Per usinflationcalculator, $250. of 1952 would be the equivalent of $2,609.33 in 2021 dollars. A pack of cigarettes averaged 23 cents per another 'site. Presumably that includes Fatima _loooong_ cigarettes.

24:15 - "Sugar" rather than 'Sierra' for the letter 'S'?

The LAPD has its own radio alphabet.

"Sam" in most LE agencies. We don't use military codes usually.

In this episode Jack Webb savagely beat some grifters who were stealing from crippled kids. …And then he stole their milk money.
