ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO HALIFAXS FINEST CAME TO MY PROPERTY AND STOLE MY 1993 LINCOLN TOWNCAR AND A SMALL ASTRO VAN.THEY DEAMED THEM DERILICT BECAUSE THE TOWNCARS TRUNK WASN`T FULLY CLOSED[ABOUT 1/2"OF PLAY OTHER THAN THAT THE CAR WAS CLOSE TO MINT CONDITION.THE ASTRO VAN WAS MISSING WIPER BLADES.THE TRUNK WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL BUT THE BATTERY GETS DRAINED AND APPARENTLY I OPENED THE TRUNK AND IT WOULDN`T FULLY PULL DOWN.YET IT WAS CLOSED STILL WITH A WATER TIGHT SEAL,IF I STARTED THE CAR IT WOULD HAVE SET TIGHTER.]JUST SO YOU KNOW THE CAR WAS INSURED AT THE TIME BUT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN`T HELP ME AGAINST CITY HALL,NOR WOULD THE RCMP.
I HAD THE TRUCK FULL OF ALL MY SPECIALIZED ANTIQUE WOOD WORKING TOOLS FOR WHEN I WAS WORKING ON A PROJECT.ALL WERE STOLEN.THE BYLAW PEOPLE SAID A NOTICE WAS POSTED ON MY FRONT POST.YET I NEVER SAW IT UNTIL MY VEHICLES WERE STOLEN.I FOUND THE NOTICE WHERE MY CAR WAS PARKED.THE STAPLE MARKS FROM WHERE IT WAS ATTACHED TO MY FRONT PORCH WERE ABOUT 1/16"FROM THE TOP AND BOTTOM.I`LL SAY THAT IT PROBABLY BLEW AWAY.I CHECKED MY MAILBOX TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING FROM HRM BUT JUST A TAX AND WATER BILL.I WAITED UNTIL MONDAY MY FIRST CHANCE TO CONTACT THE BYLAW DEPARTMENT.THEY SAID THE SENT REGISTERED MAIL AS WELL.WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN MY MAILBOX,YET WASN`T.I WENT TO THE POST OFFICE TO SEE IF INDEED I WAS SENT ANY NOTICES.YES,THEY SENT THEM BUT SEEING AS I DIDN`T RECEIVE THEM I WENT TO THE POLICE TO REPORT MAIL THEFT.IRREGARDLESS I HAD NO NOTIFICATION THAT MY VEHICLES WERE IN ANYWAY IN QUESTION.NOR WERE THEY SENT TO A COMPOUND WHERE I COULD RECLAIM THEM.
THEN I HAD THE MEETING WITH MY KELLY AND HIS GESTAPO CRONIES AKA BYLAW ENFORCEMENT.MR KELLY ASKED IF WHAT I SAID HAPPENED WAS TRUE AND THEY CONFIRMED IT.MR KELLY THEN SAID THIS WAS WRONG.HE THEN ASKED IF HE HAD BEEN GONE ON VACATION FOR A FEW WEEKS AND A TAIL LIGHT WAS BROKEN ON HIS CAR COULD THIS HAPPEN TO HIM.THE CRONIES SAID.... YES!AGAIN HE SAID THIS WAS WRONG.HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO LOOK INTO IT FOR ME.WELL, MY ONLY RESPONCE IS A LETTER FROM BYLAW INFORCEMENT A FEW MONTHS LATER AND IT WAS A BILL FOR $200.00 PLUS.[WHICH I`LL PAY WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER.I JUST PAID MY TAXES AND I`LL HAVE TO ENQUIRE IF THEY TRIED TO HIDE THE STEAL YOUR CAR BILL WITHIN IT.]
I`VE SOUGHT LEGAL COUNCIL AND IT WOULD COST ME MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH.BUT I FEEL LIKE HRM RAPED ME TWICE!SO EVERYONE KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON YOUR VEHICLES IN YOUR YARD INCASE A BYLAW OFFICER IS LURKING.
I HAVE UNCOVERED A LOT OF BYLAW STORIES IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED THEY WOULD MAKE AN INTERESTING BOOK.IF YOU WANT MORE LAUGHS THAN AT YUK YUK`S GO TO A BYLAW MEETING
AND HEAR ABOUT THESE DANGEROUS AND UNSIGHTLY BYLAW CRIME SPREES CONCERNING DERILICT WHEEL BARROWS,KIDS TOYS,A BRICK HIDDEN IN A YARD,ETC.
PISSED IN HAFILAX (AS THEY CALL US IN ONTARIO)
FELIX
PS
LEASE SET UP A BYLAW PAGE AS I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT SOURCE OF LAUGHS AND A GOOD READ.ITS BEEN TWO YEARS AND I`M STILL STRESSED OUT ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND YES I`M SHOUTING!
