The tipster is adamant that she had only used the card at the Travelers Rest Wal-Mart prior to the theft and several people in the last few months have told me the same thing. Aside from reporting this to the police I advise people to get cash from somewhere else and shop at Wal-Mart without using your cards. You could be inadvertently funding suicide bombings.

Inside the Haywood Triangle is a new series by Evan Will, a contributing freelance writer from the Greenville area.

A continuing series on identifying and editorializing crime and the goings-on in and around the Haywood Mall area. We all know there’s always some crazy stuff happening over there. Like…

Per the Greenville Police Department: “A second incident of “Peeping Tom” has been reported at Haywood Pointe Apartments January 17th at 10:45 p.m. The suspect is a white male. In the latest incident, he is described as 20-40 years old with brown hair, slender build, 5’08″-6’01″, 160-190 lbs. and was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt.”

What wasn’t stated is whether or not this male was actually trying to peak in a woman’s window or a man’s window to get his kicks. I suppose it doesn’t matter, but could help the public zero in on the suspect. We just assume it was woman reporting the incident.

Nevertheless, I never understood why someone would personally put themselves at risk of being labeled and jailed for antics that could just as well be solved with an issue of a Playboy. Or an imagination heaven forbid. But then again – that’s me as a semi-productive member of society. Some people don’t have the “common sense.”

It’s also possible this person was casing apartments for valuables. Though that is just conjecture on my part. But it almost seems more likely. Anyway you look at it…creeping around peeping in windows is crazy. And dangerous. Are there support groups for people like this? Now my brain hurts.

The following are some safety tips you can take at your home (per GPD). Thought I’d add a few tips in bold, that I think will put your mind at ease.

1. Keep curtains and blinds shut tightly, especially at night in private areas of your
home. (say to yourself in whispering voice “if I don’t see them, they’re not there”)
2. Set up potted plants or plant vegetation near side and rear windows and patio
doors, but keep shrubbery trimmed so that Peeping Toms can’t hide.
3. Install a motion detector system with a light in vulnerable areas outside the home.
4. Keep windows and doors locked at all times.
5. Talk to neighbors and share information about unusual visitors or loitering in the
neighborhood.
6. If any witnesses are present, get their names and phone numbers.
7. Detail the suspect’s appearance for the responding officer.
8. Detail how the suspect flees the area – on foot or by vehicle. Describe the vehicle
for police.
9. Write down tag numbers of suspicious vehicles and provide these to police.
10. If you see someone looking in your window, try not to panic. Call 9-1-1
immediately and stay inside until an officer arrives
11. In case they come through your window, be prepared with a firearm.
12. Don’t hesitate if you feel your life is threatened
13. Take a breath…squeeze.

OK I’m not proposing you kill anyone. Unless you have to in order to save your life. But if you live inside the Haywood Triangle, don’t keep your head in the sand.

The L.A. Arson wave has destroyed more than 40 cars, damaged several buildings and seems to be escalating. Authorities are on the lookout for a White male driving a white and tan 90s model Lexus ES300, though I suspect this is more of a group effort than a one man war on cars.

The prevailing wisdom is that this is the work of some OWS protesters and many are using the fact that the local media are being pretty sparse on important details like who the victims are, what kind of cars are being targeted, etc as evidence that the left leaning journalists are trying to keep speculation away from this being attacks on the dreaded 1%.

Of course, since OWS is a loose association of various cranks like communists, anarchists, Anonymous and Paulnuts the chances that a serial arsonist in California won’t be found to have at least been sympathetic to OWS are about 0%. It’s almost unfair to pi this on OWS because it’s like pinning cocaine addiction on tiny mirrors and razor blades – they’re simply accessories people use. OWS is the tiny mirror of nihilists and sociopaths.

Anyway, when they catch the guy get ready for some right on left Internet blame about this case. If you’re interested I’m betting either Muslim extremist (burning cars is popular in Muslim sections of France) or radical green

Which is odd since there have been several cases recently when escorts did go to cops after being robbed, but maybe those girls got charged quietly after the publicity died down. Anyway there’s a rumor that one of the online working girls showed up at an appointment where the john was waiting at a motel with a gun and surrounded by drugs. He drew down on her and demanded her money and she fled, thankfully without getting shot. I’m told she took to the Backpage and other “adult” sites to expose the number he used – but since he probably stole that phone I’m not sure how that helped.

I won’t publish the supposed phone number, but it’s a guy calling himself Deshaun and he’s a Black guy with a thug complex. This is the reason so many hookers in the area won’t service Black guys.

The cops weren’t contacted. This is asinine because the hooker could just call in an anonymous tip and cops would find a gun toting drug user sitting around in a hotel so he’d be in jail regardless. Ladies – the anonymous tip is your friend. Not going to the cops is ensuring this will happen again and next time he’ll be bolder.

A few days ago Jessi Dawn Royal was arrested in a meth lab in Simpsonville along with Julie Leigh Wilder and Christopher Charles Frey. All three were charged with manufacturing meth, and Royal was charged with unlawful possession of a prescription drug.

Rumor has it that Royal shouldn’t have been out on the streets in the first place since she killed someone while driving high. Sure enough a quick check of the Greenville County public records shows that in 2010 a Jessie Dawn Royal pled guilty to 0395-DUI / Felony driving under the influence, death results. If this is the same Jessie Dawn why is she not only still on the streets, but cooking meth and buying scripts? Because she got some serious hug-a-thug treatment with probation and a license suspension.

This time let’s keep her in the joint.

The men are both black. One is light skinned and skinny, the other heavier and dark skinned. Someone is posting the supposed phone number of the criminals on various adult websites however I won’t publish someone’s number like that. Escorts or not I encourage any victims to tell the police what’s going on before someone gets killed.

I’m told that the Drury Inn near Woodruff is housing a bunch of them and that an influx of “new” white escorts into the area is related to their arrival. In 2005 during the Philadelphia Pagans/Hells Angels war the Warlocks stayed out of the fighting but allied with the Pagans for business deals. Whether the Angels care about the Warlocks probably has to do more with how quickly they plan on leaving than what they get up to here. Still, I would suggest avoiding anywhere Warlocks are in case bullets begin to fly. The Warlocks are about making money though – so don’t look for them to really start much trouble.

The Warlocks are not known to be the most violent of the 1%er gangs (at least when it comes to dealing with non-bikers) but they are known to manufacture meth. Worse they are also known for using meth. If a couple of hundred gang members who might be tweeking doesn’t scare you you’re brain dead.

Some people are saying this run is a slap in the face to the HA but I tend to think the Warlocks are probably just testing the waters and I doubt they want to go to war here. More than likely they have the blessing of the Angels as long as they’re passing through.

This weekend might be a good time to stay indoors and spend time with the family, however.

Kind of a rain is wet, sky is blue revelation but apparently we have enough naive hippies running around that there are some women who are upset because they just found out their husband/boyfriend/booty call is getting more than a massage and some new age hooey when they pay up to $950 for nine hours worth of “sessions” at Tantric Treat. How are those sessions described?

Essence Tabtra sessions are for those who desire to be immersed in yummy, bliss-filled energy while developing a person/partner practice through integration of a variety of spiritual/sexual practices.

Do you need to be a detective to figure out they’re talking about handjobs? Apparently some people do.

Now I’ve never been to Tantric Treats of Asheville, NC and I’m sure it’s run by a nice lady who’s not a Madam:

I’m sure the stable of ladies working there are true believers in healing sexual energy and I’m not criticizing their beliefs or even their business. But ladies if your man is looking into Tantric sessions he’s putting the word in quotes and looking for a handjob. That’s just the truth.

And if that were not a good part of their clientele they wouldn’t have an advertisement in the Adult Services section of Backpage.

Now I’m going to surprise some of you by pointing out that at least this place isn’t one of the brothels where illegal immigrants and runaways are held against their will and raped by dozens of clients a day. The crime blogger in me doesn’t think this is a big deal and even were I to get on my moral high horse (which I do quite frequently) I happen to think that consenting adults rubbing each other while burning incense and misunderstanding the original concept of the Left Hand Path is hardly anything to get upset over. However my male readers should take note that I’m probably more tolerant than your wives or girlfriends.

Maybe you should clear your browser history if you partake in the “sacred sexuality” of North Carolina Tantrics if you have a disapproving other half, lest I continue to be inundated with email tips by wrathful, scorned women.

Anyway, these people seem like harmless enough new agers trying to make a buck so I am loathe to really put the bad mouth on them, especially since they take clients away from the human trafficking organizations that are infesting Greenville, Asheville and every big city in America. But if woman advertises in the Adult Services section with pictures of her in lingerie or less, she is at best a “sex worker” but more often than not a hooker. While Tantric Treats makes clear that they are not an escort service and that they don’t have sex with clients in their FAQ, they do mention that their may be genital touching during your session. This sounds like a handjob to me.

Also, they advertise in the Adult Services section on Backpage.

Anyway – stay out of there married/committed guys.

…Iknew Allison Cross and Ms Lancer who were killed in the double homicide in simpsonville at the beginning of the month. Me and my ex wife were friends of allison and after my ex wife left me I was involved a year later in a short term relationship with allison and we decided to just be friends. Long story short, last summer when she got involved with the man who killed her and her mom he found out that me and allison were friends and she told him about us being intimate. In turn he spent off and on threatening to kill me and my family down here in florida. Wasn’t a constant daily thing but would get harassing calls which I never took serious until I seen what happened today. Have quite a few witnesses to his actions, had to even change my cell number. Not sure if this is important to the case but I don’t mind even testifying to this come court day cause I feel this man is a very sick person who is bound to hurt more people if he isn’t stopped.

Apparently Crane went as far as to harass the old lady of the tipster … because he was mad his girlfriend had an ex? Unsurprisingly this strained the friendship between the tipster and Cross and she chose to side with Crane! Crane killed her months later.

The lesson here is this. Ladies, scumbags are scumbags. If a person threatened to kill the family of your ex just because he was your ex you can be damn sure he’ll think about killing you at some point. Cross and her mother paid the ultimate price for trusting this degenerate, don’t make the same mistake they did.

The tipster is willing to testify at Crane’s trail if needed.

With the money he was supposed to pay her.

Yeah, there’s no money back guarantees on hookers guys. Once you hire them you pay up even if you aren’t satisfied.

Anyway if you’ve skipped out on a hooker recently you may want to change you number.
