That's crazy.....I was parked very near there yesterday. I was only there for an hour or so, after which I headed up river.
After hearing/reading of break ins I am less and less comfortable leaving my car parked.....particularly in the lower, I also leave zero valuables in the car.

Put up a big notice NO VALUABLES IN CAR on front shied next time. Will it work?

Not always. There have been past reports on this forum where people have done this and left their vehicle empty only to come back to smashed windows out of spite by the potential thieves.

I use to have my old truck which was a base model from 93. No power no alarm,
And I would leave a sign in it saying "Rick just checking out the water conditions be back in 5 minutes"

[Jk47]

That's a good idea, or a vulgar and threatening note like, "Break into my car and I catch you -  ill break your f@#*n teeth" 😲

Mine was  the same at the Yarrow corner parking lot. They used a screwdriver to punch the passenger side door and only took change from the console.

One of these day I hope there's isnt going to be a break-in of the wrong vehicle at the wrong time and ultimately end in tragedy

Ya it would be a shame to lose a pillar of the community who roam around breaking into cars and causing property damage throughout chilliwack

Well, it would be bad if a lone fisherman came back at an inopportune moment and had his teeth knocked in.

Or an irate fisherman loses it on a vandal/thief and then gets to face assault charges or worse over a damaged vehicle and spare change.

A few years back there was a guy selling coffee and snacks from a van at Lickman Road and Tamahi. Served a dual purpose of providing nourishment to hungry fishermen and keeping an eye out for thieves. Is he still out there ?

A dumb question; Can somebody ask ICBC to put a few bait cars in the area? I'm sure the insurance claims for broken windows have already pinched them badly.

No but i a good idea, have not heard of any problems there lately as is a high traffic area most of the time.

I hope the bait cars are deployed in the areas to root out the thieves. I feel more and more kind of scary to go to Vedder river.

That link is very outdated as the media contact listed - Sgt. Peter Thiessen, retired in 2014.
