LETTER: Crime takes its toll

On the way home from the lake, I briefly stopped in to see my dad.

I parked in the underground parking lot and popped in for one hour on a Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. During that time a thief vandalized my car and stole my overnight bag. Smash and grab.

I found out from the many helpful people that live in the condo that there has been a rash of stolen cars and thefts from cars in our South Surrey/White Rock parkades.

I would like to remind everyone to warn friends and family that these thieves have found our little piece of heaven and are targeting visitor undergrounds. It’s an easy way to make a living, as police have little to no time to try to catch them.

Leave nothing in your car – even if you are just running in for a few minutes with a load of stuff from your weekend away, to give your dad a hug!

Our old white Nissan truck, 1993, was stolen from our barn in South Surrey on Sept. 17.

The police thought it would show up, but it hasn’t.

We need the truck to take squash to market and to move beehives.

Please notice if a truck like that is parked on your street.

Thank you so much. We love our truck and want it back. ICBC wants us to renew the insurance on it!
