The long con, I am fan of the long con. I wonder if she thinks this is a pre-Google world where message boards aren't indexed and easily searchable from a search engine. I won't be surprised if an clever person with a lot of free time went through the history of her posts and annotated a geographical timeline of her pleas and locations. Maybe add a dimension of 'heat' showing how long she had been in one location or how many times she revisited a location.

Maybe she travels in an RV and tows the beater Toyota. Sets up base camp in the RV and then drives the beater to the begging location and have it conveniently break down. Maybe she even has a kill switch hidden to prevent the car from starting when some white knight tries to help. Does the luvinlioness have some Romani or Irish blood and is doing an update to an old Traveler scam.
