Crime Calls: Fake Mormon Missionaries?

By Martin Henderson

We've all heard the expression, "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck." 

But there are still unbelievers out there. 

A couple of fellows aroused the suspicion of a Lake Forest resident on Saturday, apparently because of their good deeds and suspicious dress. 

According to Orange County Sheriff’s Department logs, the two lads were wearing white shirts and black pants.

And, according to the informant, they were posing as Mormons.

What apparently made the two impostors particularly suspicious is that, during the heat of the day, the two gents were offering lemonade and Kool-Aid to residents. 

No word on whether they had their bicycles with them.

Perhaps the whole thing could have been avoided if they had chosen to offer a different beverage, maybe coffee or a well-caffeinated soft drink.

The call was made Saturday, 3:43 p.m., from the 25800 block of Trabuco Road. 

This report was culled from the Orange County Sheriff's website. Not all facts in each report are made public; the outcome of the report may differ from the original blotter item. There should be no assumption of guilt based on this limited information.
