No interns! Real reporters please.
And don’t let anyone in without ID, work order, a company truck
in sight, and/or some sort of confirmation from the employer.
Especially if you didn’t call them.
Theres a lot o crap going on in this economy.
Don’t be a victim.

Later for this PC BS! A more accurate description please; race, height, weight, etc..
“the man, who is in his 30′s, was dressed AS water company employee”
Did he furnish ID? Next time people don’t let anyone inside until you call the whatever company they say they’re from to verify. Trust no one. Especially if no prior notice was given, or you didn’t call them!

You can’t say if they were Black, Hispanic, or Asian. That would be racist in todays PC society.
