Being a victim of crime and the help I’ve found

So we recently got back from holidays, thus the reason I haven’t been blogging (you couldn’t even get cell coverage where we were at in the mountains). Anyway…the day before we left, while my wife was shopping, our van was stolen from the SuperStore parking lot. That’s right…out of all the vehicles they could have stolen they chose ours…we feel pretty special…not really…in fact it is probably because they were drunk when they choose our van over the countless other options in the lot. Regardless of why, we are victims of crime and although an initial hassle, the insurance company rented us a brand new van for holidays and we have it until our van is back in action. Well onto the van…it was subsequently found the next day when the police arrested the guys in it (I’m waiting to see it on COPS). I guess the van has seen better days as has a bit of damage and they spilt beer all over it. So we just wait now to see if they can get it in tip-top shape but until then we have the brand new van to drive around (that should get the rumor and gossip wheel turning in Devon).

As for my help/training/counseling as a victim of crime…a friend of mine told me about the askaninja.com website. I am currently seeking counsel from a ninja now. I have learned various things about the art of being a ninja and its applicability to life.

  1. Sorry to hear about the van. I hope they can get rid of that beer smell, or you’re going to have awkward conversations everytime you drive people around.

    Passenger: “Why does it smell like beer in here?”
    Bryce: “Some guys stole the van and poured beer all over it.”
    Passenger: “Ummm…yeah…sure”

    And I also feel like I should remind you that COPS doesn’t film in Canada (which is really unfortunate) and that your van will most likely end up on an episode of “To Serve and Protect”!

    Oh, other than the sweet new ride, how was the vacation?
