Well.. I've now experienced the BC vibe for the fourth time in my, less than a year, stay here.
on Tuesday some lovely individual helped himself to stacking some lawn furniture to climb onto the roof and crawl through a extremely small window.. crawling across the babys crib, and then proceeding to the wifes dresser. SCORE!!! over 900 cash, jewelry, and then on the way out of the bedroom.. "oh look at that, a camcorder", and then on the way down the stairs.. "oh look at that.. a laptop, and a laptop bag!!!"
I guess I got off lucky as the items were few, but on the computer and camcorder were ALL of my newborn sons photos over the past 2 months. Of course insurance, or should I say extortion experts, is totally willing to play.. for a price. so that's a "no".
POS is all I can say.. whatever individual did it.. is a POS, and deserves no more than a baseball bat after having fingers removed one at a time.

I got nailed in Surrey. Stole my tool boxes, dragged them over the front end of my 3 month old resto of a 69 goat rag. Cops took a second puke 2 months later halfway into my house when I was at work.
Me too !! put my pressure washer in the back yard for a few days while i cleaned out the garage went to move it back in and it was gone, it was only visible from the back So some nice neigbour must have thought he would like one... only thing i have lost in living here for 35yrs

Sorry to hear of your loss. The worst is the loss of baby pics, on the plus side you will always have them in your brain, and going forward, always back up digital photos somewhere whether CD-ROM or online storage or whatever ...
Only time I've been burgled was mid-80's, they took all the wife's good (expensive) jewelry and other small items (camera, binoculars, you don't even figure out what is gone until days later) in one of our pillowcases (!!!), and my .357 Magnum, which later on when they had a falling out one of them used to murder another one of them, I never did get that nice S&W Model 19 back (police evidence, eh?) but I bought an even better Model 586 ...

Sorry to hear about that Kelly. Your stuff might come up at the Vancouver Police Auction next year. Keep a eye on craigslist for it as well. Are you close to a pawn shop? Crime went up about 100% when one of those moved in about two blocks away and then we moved out of that neighbourhood. To bad about the insurance.......those bums make it so hard to make a claim, because they'll jack up the premiums to get the money back.
Vancouver is a ruff place to live. Move to the outer areas. I hate the city and this reminds me why! That sucks kelly. It's not like that where I live in BC.
My friend on Van Isle is having a lot and hearing about a lot of crime in his area (Duncan).

That crappy, We need to find these little sh t's and break some fingers, Or maybe some legs. These little pujes steal then give it to a higher up and get paid for it, U can't hurt these little pukes cuz they only get minimal sentence cuz they are juvy's.
Duncan has it's bad area's just like any other place, so I wouldn't say Duncan is all bad. I live close to there and hear all the local crap, just happens in certain spots that little pukes case out and walk by lots.
