I have a simple method for panhandlers when I worked downtown.
I would have my own sob story and ask for handouts or smokes from them. Basically I had just lost my job, had 6 kids, and needed bus fair to Ontario, plus I was out of smokes.
I used to give money to them if they had a fairly original story, or they were willing to clean out my garage for pay.
