Rip-off — (Continued from page 1) to Ligonier where he reported the incident to state police officers. He thought he just might find the fast-talking gypsies en route to Ligonier. He later drove south on road 13 as far as Marion to see if he could apprehend the intruders. The Smiths have had their share of bad luck this year. Earlier thieves entered their Anderson store and made off with $20,000 of uninsured merchandise. The loss at Syracuse was covered, however. It turned out their license plate number had been turned in earlier to chief of police Sparklin by furniture retailer Gerald Hubbart. When Sparklin got a call from Smith about the rip-off. Sparklin investigated, but was about 30 minutes after the fact, by his own admission. Sparklin said the gypsies made an appearance at Doug Pilcher Shoes in uptown Syracuse earlier, at about 2 p.m. Saturday. At the time both Mr. and Mrs. Pilcher were on duty and clerk Steve Butts had just returned from lunch. Butts said two gypsies blocked the door and would not let him go into the back room where Pilcher has his office. Doug Pilcher said the women “literally took our place over. I never saw anything like it; it was a harrowing experience.” As near as the Pilchers could determine, however, nothing was taken atjtheir store. Lee Carboneau of the Syracuse Hardware in uptown Syracuse said a like band of gypsies appeared at his store “on or about October 30.” He said as near as he could tell they got nothing but created quite a disturbance. He said he got their license number and turned it into the police. Meanwhile, there’s a lesson to be learned here, according to chief Sparklin: don’t leave very much cash around the store at any one time and call the police when any such incident happens.
