CSI: Burnaby
This past Saturday morning, i discovered my car had been broken into and vandalized while parked in my underground parkade. It appeared they had gone through the car to find nothing of value inside, and then decided to scratch up the hood. I was pissed, but hey...its not the first time its happened to me. Anyways..what made this experience kinda different was that there were fingerprints all over driver's window. And since i had just washed my car, they were so obvious. So i did what every good citizen should do, and i called the RCMP. The first time i got through to the RCMP and reported the crime, they gave me a file number and said i'll need for insurance purposes. I told them about the fingerprints but they kinda brushed me off at first. FINE! at least i tried! Anyways, they call me back in 5min to say they had just received 6 other reports of vehicles broken into, and they decided to send a car out. In about 1/2 hour two RCMP officers arrived, to meet me and some other residents. Turned out that 12, yes...12 vehicles were broken into in one night. On the scene were Constable G and his rookie partner, Constable K. It was fun watching the two, both took their time examing each car for evidence...and found a screwdriver, a flashlight and some rubber gloves.... When Constable G looked at the prints on my car, they reacted as if they hit jackpot cuz he said the prints were "beautiful", so he got on the phone and called the Ident Team, the RCMP equivalent of CSI for these property crimes. A couple hours later, another female constable arrived with all her gear, dusted the window and lifted some finger and palm prints. They took endless pics of my car, and did all sorts of measurements. It was like CSI....without the crime scene tape, the dead body, and the snappy music. In one hour, any crime could be solved in CSI. In reality, it took 3 hours just to lift prints and gather evidence from my car.

happy belated birthday to me
My blog recently turned 1 year-old. According to Blogger's stats, over the course of the year i've made 56 posts or 20,297 words of sometimes insightful and sometimes mindless chatter. All of which has been indefinately etched into cyberspace. OK...maybe I'm giving myself too much credit. There are definately more dedicated bloggers out there. At first, i tried to post something every other day, then it became a once a week deal...until its reached its present state....uhh...maybe once a month??? Occasionally, I get comments from a few (err..couple of) dedicated readers like KK and NK. To those people who do read, even occasionally, I'd love to know who you are.... in fact, I know at least one person who reads, but doesn't leave anything behind....but no names here, WW :) hahaha.
