So shitty to hear that,

After being broken into a few times myself, I  printed out and laminated a sign that says "No valuables in Vehicle"  that I keep propped up on my dashboard. have not had any issues since. I also leave my doors unlocked and a club on the steering wheel.

Best advice yet, that's exactly what an RCMP friend told me to do

Not quite the same neighbourhood but close. Anyways, a month ago I was coming down the teapot hill trail by Cultus lake with my daughter in the middle of a sunny afternoon, when we heard a bunch of honking, yelling, and general ruckus coming from the road. We popped out of the trail and found out that some people caught some skids breaking into their car on the side of the road. Apparently they got pics of said skids, their car (beater cavalier) and their liscence plate. So yeah, still skid balls working the area is the point I'm trying to make.
I like the sign in the window idea myself.
I have a trailer at Cultus lake and the thieving is rampant. Cannot leave anything outside or it will be gone. RCMP say majority of the crime is committed by the occupants of the large homeless camp that has been referenced on this site.

Check with your insurance policy before intentionally leaving your vehicle unlocked.

My policy is void if I admitted or was found to have purposefully left the doors unlocked.

How long is the tent city camp going to be left there this year ?

Good point. Personally, I lock everything and relish the thought of catching the little puke in my truck one day

If I left a sign "no valuables in truck" I would still come back to a broken window and a sign that read "just checking!"

A couple of them trail cams would sure put a damper on that profession.
A few angry guys with big boots .
Put it on youtube and watch the hits roll in.
Sounds like a winner to me.

I think this would do the trick.  or place a few signs saying that there are trail cameras watching throughout the system.  Might spook them to other areas.

I did catch one once. And it was in a fairly secluded area on the mid river to boot. After a little one-on-one, I believe he never engaged in similar practice again.
Don't get alarmed. He may have hurt a bit, but he lived.  ;D

I heard he just fell down a couple times while he tried running away.  8)

I don't think Milo is much of a runner but I bet you he could move like a Grizzly bear if motivated to do so.

He might huff, kick the ground, and false charge.
But I wouldn't worry about Milo till his ears lay flat.  ;D

It's when he slowly puts his cigar in a safe place, all the while whistling that tune from "Once upon a Time in the West", you have to worry :)

Hold it. He has ears?

I thought those were ties for a sausage casing.

Go figure.
