8. If these Gypsies are really stealing my money, then why do they all live in such modest, run down homes in need of repair? Where does the money go?
This was one of those questions that plagued me for a long time. I mean, if they're stealing my money, I should see a change in their lifestyle, right? All I see is that same broken down home in need of repair.

There are couple of answers to this. One is that one of the Gypsies' favorite outlets for spending their stolen money is on fancy cars. That's why you'll see a Gypsy woman with a modest, sometimes rundown home but there's a Mercedes or new car(s) on the driveway. The very expensive gold Mercedes SL 500 Roadster that you can see in the two photos below belongs to Helene LaMarr (aka Helen Lamar, aka Helen Cannon, aka Helen Johns) and her husband, Rick Cannon.

This next photo below shows the "Illinois Transit" license plate in use by Rick Cannon on his Mercedes as well as his son's vehicles. These plates are issued for transit use only by the state. Rick Cannon has been using this same plate for at leat a year now. Any members of law enforcement, please take note of this IT plate number as The Johns'/Cannon's may be in violation of the authorized use of this type of Illinois special plate.

Now, while we can't say that this car specifically was purchased using money Helen had received from her "clients", this is the kind of vehicle you'll see Gypsy Fortune Tellers or their husbands/sons driving around in. And if you are a "client" of Helen's, you may wonder where her family came up with the money for this car. We know for fact that in 1994, Helen and Rick returned from a trip to Florida with a Rolls Royce, and this was after Helen had asked me to let her use one of my credit cards on that trip because she supposedly needed help funding it since she said that, "You know I don't make hardly any money from my fortune telling. Just a little from doing readings. All the money that's sacrificed goes toward the spiritual work." She racked up over $2500 in bills on my card, while in the meantime Rick came home driving a cream-colored Rolls Royce convertible with Florida plates.

Interestingly enough, before this high-end Mercedes, Rick was driving around in a similar black Mercedes SL 500, and before that a black Jaguar XK-8 coupe. Rick used to always prominently park his car on his driveway, often with the front of the car facing the street, to proudly show it off. Yet oddly enough, after that Jaguar first appeared on gypsypsychicscams.com, Rick stopped leaving his fancy cars in the driveway, and instead the family cleared out enough space in their cluttered garage so that Rick's car would always be kept out of site. That seemed to be the case at least until gypsypsychicscams.com photographed the black Mercedes tucked away in the garage. Once the black Mercedes appeared on the web site (depicted inside the garage), Rick's latest gold Mercedes started getting parked on a side street bordering the house on the left, but in such a way that someone wouldn't think the car belongs to their house. But this all must just be coincidence, I'm sure. I mean, it's not like "Helene's" clients should be suspicious, right?


The other answer as to where all the money goes is that Gypsies will often have lavish, fully furnished basements you never see, where they keep all of their nicer possessions and furniture.

The third answer is that the house you think they supposedly live in, the house you visit for your spiritual work, is actually not their only house. In fact, the Gypsy crime families in the South Suburbs of Chicago, in addition to their fortune-telling storefront homes, also share another home along the lines of this first house below, located on 105th a few blocks west of Harlem. That's yet another place where all of your money is going.

The next three photos are of the house located at 5526 N. Sayre, which belongs to "Big Frank". Big Frank is the rom baro for this entire area. The inside of his house is quite spectacular, as your fortune telling dollar ultimately stops here.
