Car Break In On Chilliwack River Today
« on: July 25, 2016, 04:06:31 PM »

Buck and I after fishing stopped to see the dismantling of a camp at Teskey today. Talked to the CO and City of Chilliwack enforcement who where at the work site.

In the same location a van had both windows smashed out. Will post pictures later on the FVSS FB page.

Surprise surprise, they have already torn down 3 camps in the Sardis/Rotary trail area. This year has been brutal, between the used needles at the Vedder elementary school play ground to the cracked out prostitues strolling the DQ/McDonalds area over the last 3-4mths... Not sure on the validity of the info but was told the City of Abbotsford gave out bus tickets in the spring  :o

two windows broken does not seem like the M/O of a car break in.

looks like some other issue.

We have all been through this before. I have been hit two time in a ten year period. Now I leave the car unlocked, and take the insurance papers with me, fishing.

I agree with Redder. Don't think this was a break in. Why would they smash two windows and draw more attention to themselves? It's usually get in, get out.

Two thieves, one on each side.  They can search the vehicle quicker that way.

Yeah, no.  If you are thief you don't smash extra windows and draw heat to search the vehicle quicker...one might opt for the power locks.  Or at worst, open another door once inside.

Besides car thieves usually work alone. Joy riders on the other hand...

Maybe someone was cranky they got low holed.
Maybe someone pissed someone off for killing  a Sockeye.
Maybe someone didn't pay a debt, slept with a wife.
Maybe someone needed new windows.
(Deductable isn't worth one window.)

It's a very visible spot whether one window or two.
Used by hikers, bikers and dog walkers.

A picture maybe worth a thousand words but also worth a bunch of questions.

Regardless of your friends and enemy's. Don't leave stuff in your car you can't afford to lose.
And definitely don't make it visible.
(Been there done that)

Each thief takes a side.  They don't really care about heat.

Besides car thieves usually work alone. Joy riders on the other hand...

Thieves that steal cars might.  Thieves that steal from cars usually are in pairs.

Probably broken into some time between 2200-0400, typical working hours for thieves.

Is the "Crackhead camp" you are speaking of just past Tamahi? I was fishing near there last Friday - thinking I was in an ok area all to myself that someone had camped at recently (firepit and a bit of garbage) - when all of a sudden the pile of blankets beside me started to move. No tent or car - just a person sleeping out in the wild. Very odd. Noticed 2 tents on the bank a little higher up - but again no vehicles.
