This sales plan stinks

The Mounties in Chilliwack have issued a warning about a thief gaining access to homes by pretending to be a door-to-door fish salesman.
 
At least two victims have been recorded in recent days.

The culprit is a native man in his 20’s with dark hair and a goatee. He’s been stealing wallets from would-be buyers when they turn their backs to him and he escapes riding a bicycle and carrying a black duffel bag.

Police are again warning residents to be cautious when opening doors to strangers, but they make no mention of the dangers of agreeing to buy fish from a guy selling it door-to-door.
