On the Canada Day weekend there was a thief trying car doors along Thompson Ave at 3am. A number of small items were stolen.
This is a reminder to make sure you lock your cars and sheds and even cottage doors when you are not at home or even during the day when you are sitting in your back yard. And please also keep an eye out for people you do not known who may be snooping around your neighbours’ places.
If you encounter or see someone snooping, you should call CanCom (519-379-4760) if it is between 8am and 2am). Otherwise call the OPP (519-534-1323) or 911 if it is an emergency.
If you call Can Com and don’t get an answer during their working hours, especially if it is late, try again in 5 minutes. They patrol the entire reserve and there are a few locations where they do not get cell reception as they are making their rounds.
All the break ins happen between 2 and 5 in the morning the times of all the cottage break ins
last fall and nothing is done to curb them by all the agencies including the reserve.
To contact the OPP dispatch, you can also dial *677 (*OPP) from a mobile phone.
I contacted all …opp, band and security numerous time last fall…big waste of time… all three stated they know who it is and nothing is done…I had the culprits on camera up and Thompson ave 3 nights in a row on the long weekend…make sure everything is locked or its gone…this has been going for 3 years now.
I too have contacted all the agencies and band and provided photos of the culprit in my cottage after the second break in last fall. It seems to fall on deaf ears as nothing is done. these break ins are a breach of privacy and excessive cost for things stolen and damage done. What are we paying for??
At least 4 cars were entered in our Thompson neighbourhood. The contents of the glove compartment and console were tossed but loose change was left. Someone had suggested that the thieves are looking for your car ownership papers and address info to use in some type of scam. Fair warning, be sure to lock your cars!
Thanks for the heads up. Blue boxes on 5th ave south of 12th st have not been picked up. No paper or glass!
Please refer to today’s post on the subject of recycling.
