A "desperate" Philadelphia Phillies fan was arrested for offering to exchange sex for tickets to see her beloved team play the Yankees, investigators said.
Cops say Susan Finkelstein, 43, posted a pleading ad on craigslist saying she needed two tickets to baseball's biggest game.
"DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX!" the ad was headlined.
"Diehard Phillies fan - gorgeous tall buxom blonde - in desperate need of two World Series Tickets," she allegedly wrote.
Describing the price as "negotiable," she ended the ad flirtatiously: "I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!"
Bucks County Public Safety Director Fred Harran said an officer with the special investigations unit spotted the ad and set up a meeting with Finkelstein at a local bar.
The officer told her he and his brother had tickets to sell.
Finkelstein offered to perform sex acts on both of them, saying, "Well, I'd rather have two tickets, and I could take care of both of you."
"There was no confusion at all," Harran said. "She was pretty explicit in what she was going to trade."
Finkelstein is charged with a misdemeanor count of prostitution. No one answered her home phone yesterday, but she posted on Facebook that she "is wondering about the integrity of our 'police.

Someone should tell them to go bust a drug dealer/rapist/murderer.
Of course I do not condone prostitution, I just pay for it, but don't tell my wife. She would be super mad!
WS tickets. She should be worrying about her own integrity.

<< <i>I got an idea for these Police departments, instead of wasting tax payer money on these foolish stings why not turn the heat up on sexual predators and drug dealers? >>
No crap (but the other word). My car has been broken into three times sitting in front of my house, police dont respond to vehicle break ins, you mail in a complaint. Yet I can drive to work in my car with a broken out window and get pulled over for rolling through a stop sign
As said earlier, i dont condone prostitution, and its not a "victemless" crime really, but there are really bigger fish to fry. frustrating

Do you believe Susan Finkelstein's claim that she was just flirting with the undercover officer who busted her?
Yes. Seems like a reasonable explanation.
No. She is, after all, a 'desperate buxom blonde'.

'Desperate' Phillies fan arrested for offering sex in exchange for World Series ticketsThe Phillies fan accused of pimping herself out for World Series tickets claimed Wednesday she was just flirting with the undercover cop who busted her - not selling sex.
"I was hoping maybe I could get a cheaper price flirting with him," Susan Finkelstein, 43, said on the "Opie and Anthony" radio show, a day after she was hit with a prostitution charge.
"You know, batting my eyes. It's not unheard of.
"It was him who brought the whole thing up anyway," added the married Finkelstein.
"It was just unbelievable that when we started talking about sexy stuff, I got arrested."
The self-described "desperate buxom blonde" said she didn't even have to put on an act. The cop she met at a bar after he replied to her Craigslist ad was "kind of cute."
"They sent out the good-looking, blonde, kind of Marine guy," she said.
In her ad, Finkelstein begged for tickets and said she could be "creative" about payment.
After she met with the undercover cop, she was hauled away in cuffs - but her story may have a happy ending.
Finkelstein is slated to receive free tickets to Sunday's game compliments of a local radio station and car dealership.
"The only thing she's guilty of is being a humongous Phillies fan," said Joey B., executive producer of the "Chio in the Morning" show.

collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
is assigned to internet type crimes. It wasn't a case where a homicide detective happened upon the ad.
The cop was doing his job. Yes he sits at a computer all day looking for internet crime.
Their is always bigger fish to fry. How was he to know that this was simply a Phillies fan looking to whore herself out and
not some large scale prostitution ring?
I also can't believe that any town would not send a patrolman to someones house if there car was broken into.
(I believe you Joe) I just find that hard to believe.

Fair being fair I can agree with checking into it to see if it was a large prostitution ring I can 100% agree with that due to the possibilty of minors being involved, Im not saying anything about the cop because he WAS doing his job.
I guess my problem with this type of thing is when they doll up female cops and lure johns into entrapment and then prosecuting them- That is a complete waste of time and money.

Yup.
He really should get a REAL job, if he is competent to do so.

They don't come for auto-burglaries in lots of jurisdictions.
There are online forms; they do follow-up, eventually.
If you tell the 911 thing that a firearm was stolen from the
car, they will come fairly quick........if they are not busy with
psychos in bars that wanna trade sex for baseball tickets,
OR not on some other nonsense mission.
.............................
I'm glad the dumb/crazy gal got her tickets, and that the
car dealer got some publicity.
In times of economic distress the barter system becomes a much more valuable tool.

I have to disagree here, usually they do that after a community complains about prostitution in the area.
By dressing up a female officer they get johns that have frequented that spot. It is a quality of life issue
in some cases. Same thing with drug stings or stolen car stings. It is generally done in an area where it has been a problem.
Lets say you live in an area that has prostitutes on YOUR corner. Would you then think it is a complete waste of time and money?
