To the guy who stole my cousins bike

How dare you. This was not just some bike that can be replaced. This is a chopper bike that can not be replaced. My cousin is absolutley heartbroken as he has had that bike for years and he loved it. That bike was his prized possesion and you took it from him. The attached photo was when the bike was new so the bike is a little worn out. If you see the bike please report it to me. I will be in the comment section

Rotten person

A group of kids were walking home on Ottawa street. They had just bought pizza from krustys. Some guy follows them on his e bike says he's going to beat them up if he doesn't give him their pizza. Just wanted to say he's a rotten person. What a jerk.

Canadian RE-tire

I was shopping yesterday at Canadian aka Crappy Tire, this older woman was looking for a faucet that she had seen on sale in the flyer. She asked me if I knew about it, I didn't so I was helping her look. The Canadian Tire sales associate approached us so I went on my way to shop, then all I could over hear from the next isles over was that the sales man was being extremely rude to the lady! She had an accent but she had no problems speaking or understanding English. However, the sales man had a problem listening and being a good helper. The sales man was also being sarcastic and dismissing her inquiry rudely and the sweet lady didn't even say a thing to him about his unprofessionalism but It angered me so much that I walked back over there. How he was acting was just ridiculous and extremely inappropriate. He also was trying to snuff her off and say "Like I already told you I don't know, the price tag is gone and there isn't any flyers here to check!!!!" -COME ON...You work here!!! Sorry for requiring you to do a little work rather than wander the isles and try to look busy; omg I did not appreciate how he spoke to this lady, Her (italian, romanian maybe) accent, does not make her deaf either! In an attempt to fix the situation, I simply went back there and asked the lady if she found what she was searching for? She told me the sales man was looking. So I then asked him if he knew which is the one that was on sale? He didn't. He had a scanner in his hand so I asked him politely can you just scan it to find out? He said there were no price tags to scan so I said couldn't you just scan the boxes to find the one on sale then? In a huff he sarcastically said "ya, but I'd have to find it." I said okay!! He started looking again, and the lady thanked me. Social Justice starts before school is over and the degree is earned. I wouldn't care if you had to scan every bar-code in the store, It's your job! Don't act like customers are bothering you, you are working and getting paid for providing customer service. POOR customer service at that! PS: A slight language barrier/ accent does not give you the right to be a bully!
If you hate your job, retire all ready. SMILE! You've been spotted!

Pyros in the Villages

To the fire starters who went up and down Village Drive early Friday morning and set all of the trash cans and Windsor Star newspaper bundles on fire, you've been spotted. We have a description and will be watching from now on.
You even set a bundle on fire beside a parked car. Could have been a lot worse. Get a life.

Horrible/Entitled/Oblivious Woman

To the blonde woman in the black Audi at the Lauzon/ Wyandotte Tim Hortons this AM,
Not only did you reverse your car in the middle of Lauzon road to enter the walk-in section vs. drive-thru when you saw how many cars were lined up, but you accused me of almost hitting you as you reversed yet again to correct your terrible park job. Lady -- you probably have a back up cam in that expensive car, and if not a rear-view mirror for that reason. I had the right-of-way. THEN - you had the audacity to RUN in your stupid little heels from your vehicle to get ahead of me in line -- how old are you? NEXT you had the nerve to say "you know you almost hit me by the way" REALLY? A) You reversed in the middle of a very busy intersection/ street where there is ongoing construction on both the road and the Tim Hortons B) You neglected to check your mirrors and look behind you when reversing C) You ran ahead of me to get in line before me then you call me a bad driver??? The only upside of this whole ordeal was that MY order was ready before yours so you didn't really need to run in your heels ahead of me, did you? -- I bet that made you so angry HAHAHA KARMA is a B*tch even in these little circumstances.
You have been spotted --do us all a favour and learn some manners and practice safe driving.

SCAMMMER PLEASE READ EVERYONE!

Please be very aware of a scammer on kijiji.
Yesterday i posted my iPhone 5 on kijiji, and this person had texted me in response to my post saying that she would pay 500$ to ship the phone to her son in quebec, and i didn't think anything of it because I've been having a rough week and i thought i was about to have good luck. I originally posted i wanted 350$ for it and she offered to pay 50$ more for the phone and 100$ to ship it over night. Originally they wanted me to use paypal but i didn't have a pay pal so i suggested Etransfer. And at first it seemed pretty legit, but then the second email i got from them (ETRANSFER) was that they were having a server error and it would take up to 24 hrs and at this point it started clicking in my head that THIS IS A SCAM, i wasn't getting money and it says 24 hrs because by the time 24 hrs is up they will have the phone. I then searched the 646 number on google and THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS PERSON HAS TRIED TO SCAM SOMEONE they have tried to scam people on craiglist, kijiji etc and it is actually a google voice number, they switched the number because they thought i would forget about it and i wouldn't look it up; they knew that the 562 number wouldn't show up on google as a scammer number. After filing a police report and stoping my parcel the person texted me this morning also trying to say that etransfer couldn't deposit money in my interac account because my limit is apparently lower than 500$ and i don't have a business account so they would have to give me another 500$ to expand my limit, bringing my account to 1000!

The numbers they were texting me from 646-807-8293, and then she had said her phone was dead and she was going to text me from her husbands and the number was then 562-248-6609. The email they used to send me the etransfer is mattewmitri@gmail.com.
The etransfer email that you should be aware of is, Notifcation@payment-interac.ca & & shopping post@in.com.
The address they wanted me to send the phone :
Name:David Bosquet
Address: 871 Cartier, Longueuil, Canada, J4K4C3

^ they probably won't use they same mailing info if any at all.

FORTUNATELY i was able to stop my parcel from getting in the persons hands, and I'm hoping you will read this and will do the same if it happens to you or anyone else. Hoping this will help another individual that is trying to sell there item on Facebook.

LOOK FOR THE HINTS AND THE SIGNS.

PLEASE BE AWARE, AND DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

In the picture is what the email might look like from 'Etransfer'

A little creeped out

I went for a run today at about 8:30pm up and down south national, like I usually do. While I was running I noticed this man in a car slow down as he passed me, I kept running and then I turned around to run the other way. I got to buckingham and noticed the same man in the car slow down again and he turned onto a street, I started to run a little faster and once I got to ford I saw the same guy turn my way, I turned on ford and stopped to take a break and the man also turned on ford and drove past me. He may have been lost but it's a coincidence that every time he drove past me he slowed down, not to mention I'm a teenage girl and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I may have to start running with someone.
