Help me identify this thing #2!

So, I was strolling along the sidewalk when I saw this horrible creature with two tentacles accosting a young lady. It was so close to her I thought it might be one of Ghastly's tentacle monsters, but apparently she talked it into just stealing her gold. The young lady got away unscathed. I'll bet that beast is sitting in its cave right now, just waiting for another hapless victim to wander by...

a purse?

My only advice to you, Mr. Kolter, is to stay inside, lock your doors, bar your windows and never go outside again.

Parking meter? Like the ones that have two meters on one post?

Sounds like she'd have to have been grinding the parking meter if that's what he's talking about...

Hot.

That's a really good riddle!

I've been pondering it for about 10 minutes and I can't think of an answer....hmmmm

Maybe it's a......subway turnstyle? It's got two bars that would actually touch you, it lives in a "cave", and requires gold payment to let someone pass. It would be sitting, waiting for another victim.

Bjork's first solo album.

No, wait! Aimee Mann's first solo album.

G-Lode and Boomer are each close, but each doesn't quite have a fit with the clues I've given. For example, while parking meters are definately found near sidewalks, generally parking meters aren't found in caves. And while I like the whole subway/cave thing, subway turnstiles aren't often found nearby sidewalks.

telephone booth?

Or rather the telephone in it.

The two cords (one to the handset, and one to the line) would be the tentacles. Being in a booth requires the closeness. You pay, that's the gold. The lady "talked" to it. And the booth itself is the "cave."
