Sorry to hear Scott.

But it seems to be the reality everywhere. My parents moved to a rural area north of Winnipeg in 99 and we have always felt really safe there. That meant we were pretty lax about locking doors and putting things inside. Especially seeing how the house is set a couple hundred feet off the highway.

Just a couple weeks ago I left my mountain bike outside the house right beside the garage. I left the house about 11:00PM (meeting the gf after a herf) and my sister got home about 1 am. In that time someone came down the driveway and jacked the bike.

I was pretty pissed off but I guess it was a good lesson learned on something that in the big picture is pretty minor. I generally leave the keys in the ignition of my car but that has definitely come to an end. I hope things don't escalate in our neighbourhood.
