Jonathan Betz of WFAA-TV, Ch. 8, Dallas - Fort Worth reports that one woman says a door to door salesman stole jewelry. The news report says that the vacuum cleaner salesman has a felony record.

“If you haven’t invited them there, and there’s a stranger at your doorstep, that’s who they are: a stranger," said Jeannette Kopko, spokesperson for the BBB serving Dallas and Northeast Texas.
