      Choosing to sleep on the streets instead of in their house. Why won’t she just go home, to the home she obviously has and doesn’t use??

          Well, there are such things are begging rings. And begging for money doesn’t mean you are homeless. But I have a hard time believe that anyone believes someone would choose to be smelly, dirty and cold to earn some pocket change.

          However I did have a weird experience once. I was in the train in Berlin and a guy with a deformed leg was crawling in the train asking for money. His foot looked gruesomely twisted, it was weird. But then a few days later by coincidence I saw the exact same guy sitting normally in the same train line. So either there’s some weird business going on, of he begged enough money to fix his leg.
