He also operates in the Condado area. He is dressed like a tourist, often in a nicer Hawaiian shirt and does not look homeless, but occasionally he has visible bruises/abrasions/sores to go along with the story of his being beat up along with his father. We live in SJ and were taken in after we first moved here. We haven't decided if the occasional bruises come from actual street fights, or if he has a disease since sometimes he has very visible sore type lesions. This guy cannot be homeless, he is simply a low life panhandler that obviously does well enough to be clean, have nice clothes and be out drinking quite a bit. If you are here long enough you can tell a clear difference between those who are homeless and those who are shameless like this guy. I wish they would get him off the street...give your money to a real homeless person on the island, or at the very least to the homeless cats and dogs via an organization :)
SCAM ALERT: Watch out for guy who will ask if you speak English
