Mounties in the Sardis Park neighbourhood of Vancouver have caught the burglar who was breaking into homes and stealing the change out of children's piggy banks. [Postmedia News]. Perhaps he was always short of change for those pesky parking meters.
Now that he's been caught imagine how relieved are The Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.

West Coast Wackies
If you've ever wondered why our west coast people are considered somewhat wacky, here are two stories from Vancouver [courtesy the Montreal Gazette]:
A driver charged with impaired driving after his car was stopped for weaving on a freeway claimed his attention was not compromised by the 10 beers and double cocktail he'd consumed but rather because his wife was enjoying a new vibrator.
In a hopefully unrelated story, the RCMP have new orders to check inside cars that appear to have been abandoned. This followed the revelation that a dead man sat in his car on the Trans-Canada Highway (presumably on the shoulder) for 3 days despite the car being noticed and flagged by local police and the Mounties. Seems no-one looked inside the vehicle.
Just goes to show that on the West Coast cars can be hazardous to your health.
