Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Fake UPS Man Pistol Whips, Tases Woman

Fake UPS Man Pistol Whips, Tases Woman in S.E
A man wearing what appeared to be a UPS uniform invaded a SE Washington home, then pistol whipped and tased a woman.
Thursday Jun 17, 2010 6:44PM
WASHINGTON - Most of us don't have any suspicion when we see a UPS delivery man coming to the door.
It's a familiar sight: a knock at the door, the brown suit, a package for delivery.
But it's no longer a trusted sight for a woman who lives in the District. Wednesday she and her husband were attacked and robbed inside their home by a man dressed in a UPS uniform.
"It just really hit me today what happened," she said today.
She said a man in a brown UPS uniform came to her door around 7:30 a.m. while she was still asleep. He told her husband he had a certified letter for delivery.
But when her husband opened the door a little, the man stuck a gun in his side and ordered him to get on the floor.
Then the uniformed attacker pulled out a walkie talkie and summoned another gunman to the house.
When one of the gunmen went upstairs, he woke her and demanded to know where their money was.
"I said, 'What money are you talking about? We don't keep money in the house.' He said, 'don't make me kill you. Where's the money?'"
She said he told her to turn over so he could tie her up.
"Some kind of way, I fought him off me and he pulled out a taser gun and started tasing me and he started pistol whipping me," she said. "It felt like steel coming down on your head. It hurt."
She has staples in her head now, stitches behind her ear, and a large bruise over her eye.
She said her screaming caused both suspects to stop ransacking her home.
"When I came downstairs, my husband was with a guy straddled over him with a pistol on him," she said.
"They got away with a wallet and briefcase." And now this woman worries for everyone else.
"I want the neighbors to be aware" she said. "Because UPS is over here all of the time."
From their headquarters in Atlanta, UPS said they will cooperate in the investigation. The company recommends that when you see someone in a UPS uniform at your door, ask for an ID before opening your door. And see if you can see a UPS truck outside.

I thought this was important enough to post here because this method could be used to steal someone's collection of herps.
