Those of you interested in a bit of follow up on Dear Old Lutz may like to read of his more recent exploits here

Scroll down to Item 3.
Bit of a comedown from a High Financier in my book. I also hear that he has been sighted outside certain supermarkets on the North Coast begging for RD $100 (US $3.00) to catch a bus to Santo Domingo to enable him to replace a lost (read confiscated) passport!

! Needless to say, most residents now know about this 'scam' & are challenging the beggar, so he slinks away!!
May you soon be safe & dry 'inside' Lutz!!
