A white car with what looked like a camera tower on the roof was picked up on surveillance driving through the village today. I could not read the logo on the car door, but the tower looks like a smaller version of the one that Google brought up several years ago to be mounted on a sled going through the ski runs.
Firesmart Day - show up, you might learn something.

Sadly John died in a car accident on a ski trip to the rockies. The original ownership group prepared a bronze plaque honouring him, to be mounted at the "lake". For decades, the plaque sat in various places in the Baldy Bar. It has been a few years since I have inquired, but the last time I asked, it had apparently disappeared. If anyone comes across it, we should do something about getting it on display.
Engrave your tools, skis and other valuables with your drivers license number. If your stuff ends up in a pile of recovered stolen goods, the RCMP can quickly identify who it belongs to.
Yesterday I met a nice guy, contractor, journeyman. I posted a promo for his business, but took it down as soon as I learned his tools had been stolen. I will repost after I have talked to him.
This is particularly disturbing as the tools were taken from the back of a pick-up truck, in a driveway, in the few minutes the contractor was inside the building. Three pick-ups parked there, lights on, smoke coming out of the chimney. Still daylight.
Was someone watching? Owners of the other two pick-ups had gone for a ride on their quads less than an hour before.
Images provided to me from cameras in the village so far are all vehicles that I recognise as people owning/staying in the village.
I have a dashcam image of someone walking in the village around noon - someone I do not recognise.
Stuff can be returned, no questions asked.
Batteries are marked with initials, hand tools are trade specific and culprit may not know what they are for - keep an eye out for discarded tools.
Calling all cameras. Milwaukee Tool box, grinder, batteries stolen from the back of a pick-up in Jones' driveway . Updated timeline - the contractor continued working until closer to 7:00 pm. So the window for the theft would have occured closer to 7:00pm.The contractor had just gone into the cabin before leaving, and the stuff was gone. The contractor's truck was picked up on camera circling the village closer to 7:00pm.
Reported to RCMP
Three guys, three pick-up trucks - working all day. Two guys head out on their quads around 6:00pm. Third guy goes into the cabin briefly before heading home. Tools disappear from his truck while he was inside. Someone watching?
Top Hat is here today and tomorrow, cleaning pre-booked chimneys. If you missed this round, contact Al to get on the list for another day, probably in July.
