How could you tell that they were from the suburbs? Did they actually
show a transaction taking place? (Not hard to get since there are plenty
of transactions).

Sounds like a good idea. The folks along Lake Street have been doing that
to "Johns".
One caveat though. I have driven along lake street and been approached at
a stop light by such entrepeneurs after picking up my daughter at Andersen
[a couple of years ago]. I had no desire for the offered services. If I
received one of these JOHN letters for such an occurence I would probably
contact a lawyer to see what my options are.
