pie, you need to learn that you NEVER give a SW money until you're ready to do the deed. In the past I've been duped into giving them some of the money upfront so they can score some drugs supposedly so they can show me a better time. I've even had one leave personal items in the car to "gaurentee" they'd come back and they still disappeared. Even waiting until they're blowing you or whatever I've had some say they saw a cop or some lame excuse and bolt b4 the job was done. All in all I pretty much gave up SW for more "legitimate" SP or MP who will usually give what you pay for.
Along the same vein, I was driving Weds after work and saw an alarming # of cops in the Mechanicsville / Gladstone/ Somerset areas. There was one SW who looked for certain not to be a decoy (too unattractive, looked kinda strung out and had all the mannerisms) who I saw 1st on Booth St. Not 5 or 10 minutes later she appeared on Gladstone a block west of Lyon (couldn't have walked) with 2 cop cars sitting at Gladstone & Lyon. Either she was a decoy or severely stupid.
All over town I've noticed the police presence in the usual SW areas is still increased and the number of SW's is way down. Maybe they're all in jail? All in all, not worth the risk in my book.
Be super careful out there guys!!
