Man in white pickup

I would just like to say "thank you" to the man in the white pickup truck at the Shell gas station on Banwell and Tecumseh. Your compliment of "Wow, you look great" was very much appreciated. I was even dressed in work clothes. You made my day or more like my week.

A couple of good samaritans

I was walking with a friend downtown Monday evening when someone I didn't know physically attacked me. I did nothing wrong, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. To the 2 or 3 people who chased off the thugs that put me in the hospital and waited with me until help came, thank you. If you guys hadn't have stepped in, I would've ended up a lot worse. Please speak up so I can thank you!

MISSING BIKES

Two of our bikes went missing some time between Sunday June 8, 7:00 pm and Monday June 9 8:00 pm from our backyard.
One was a men's red super cycle sc1800. The second was a ladies purple super cycle sc1800.
My 10 year old daughter is very upset and emotional over this, especially because the bikes belonged to my in-laws. My daughter was particularly upset as the one was "grandpa's bike" and he is now in heaven:(
If anyone happens to see these bikes ( I know it's a long shot) please let me know.

Dog left in car!

I was at the superstore on walker road today around noon and a man parked next to me, left only his front windows down maybe 6" and went inside.... With his large dog in the back seat! I wasn't sure what to do, even though I've seen many posts from the humane society specifically telling owners not to leave pets in their vehicles. I stopped a women walking by, and asked what I should do. It was about 75 degrees at the time, but I know inside the car can get much hotter and fast. She was as concerned as I was. The dog was not in distress at the time, so she called non emergent police line and they said to contact the humane society. I called and they said they'd be right over. While waiting for the HS, a fire truck showed up to get groceries, so I went over and told them what was going on. They came over and one fire fighter waited with us while the HS was on their way. 15min later they showed up. At this point it had been 30min since the man went into the store. Basically the HS said there's nothing legally a bystander can do besides call them and report it, but most times the owners are long gone before they arrive.
I just don't understand with all the information these days, and the HS putting out so much information asking owners not to do this, it's still done. Every day. If you own a dog PLEASE do not leave them in your vehicles! If you are out running errands, leave your pets at home! Or leave your car running, locked, with the air conditioning on. There was another van parked a few over and I could hear the dogs barking but they had left it running with the air on. Use some common sense people! I am not even a big dog lover, but this still bothered me! When will people wake up??
I still don't know what to do if faced with this situation again. If a dog is in distress, and I brake a window, and help the dog, and call 911, what if someone comes out and attacks me because I broke their window? What if I get charged with vandalism? What if I have to pay for their window? That's not something I want to happen.... So what are we supposed to do??
What ended up happening was the fire fighter went inside and had the man paged by vehicle description and license plate and was told to come out. The total time he was in there was about 45 minutes, and he could very well have been longer if he wasn't paged because he came out empty handed. The HS handed him a pamphlet and educated him on he subject. I sure hope he learned something and will not do this again! The dog was ok.
We ALL should be paying attention to vehicles while we walk through parking lots this summer. At least 50+ people passed us during this time and no one else noticed. If we can all pay a little more attention maybe we can save some pets this summer!

PT BEAR - Dangerous Driver

Blue car with license plate PT BEAR was driving recklessly down the 401 East on Friday June 6th @ 6:00 PM. You were clearly over 160 km/ hr as you passed in and out of traffic. I hope you got a ticket for careless driving on the way to your destination, or before you hurt yourself or someone else.

It is NEVER ok to leave your dog in the car at 80'F!

To the girl (early 20's) in the Blue Hyundai (and yes I have your licence plate number) parked in the Value Village/ Pita Pita parking lot on Tecumseh road today. Leaving your Shephard puppy in the car while you shop in Value Village is NOT OK - EVER! Your poor puppy was panting and crying and you were not in the store for 2-3 mins like you tried to tell me you were when I advised you that I had already called the cops... I was there for 15! We had them make a page at the store and it still took you another 5 mins for you to come out. YOUR DOG COULD HAVE DIED!! When you opened the door and he jumped out you had to pick him up to put him back in the car because he already had no energy. Then when the humane society official arrived and tried to educate you (in a non-condescending manner) you rolled your windows up saying I know and ignoring all of the people staring at you in dismay. I urge you to give up that dog to someone who will love and care for it the way it deserves to be. If I ever see your dog left in the car alone again I will not be waiting for officials to arrive.
