W: Gosh! Have you seen this Richard?
M: Seeing what?
W: In the paper, it says (1)__________________. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he's come to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
W: It's all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas,(2)________________.
M: Does this man have an I. D. then?
W: Yes, that's just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, (3)___________________. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot.
M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description.
W: Oh, yes, they have. Let's see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually.
