St.John's Newfoundland Hotbed of Crime
Hi,
We were in St. John's Newfoundland in August and found it is "Open Season" on tourists there. Do not leave anything of value in your car. We had two camera's stolen from our trunk which was accessed after breaking the drivers door lock. Originally we thought this happened at the Avalon Mall while we were at a movie but did not check the trunk at this point and the drivers door damage was not noticeable. After the mall we went to the Swiss Chalet across the road for dinner and then back to the condo where we were staying, there we discovered the theft. On our return to Toronto I found out my pharmacist was there just days after us and had her camera stolen at the same Swiss Chalet. Also a Dutch couple had there car cleaned out at Cape Spear in the middle of the day, all they were left with was the clothes on there backs and their camera that was two days before us. After the fact we heard so many horror stories about car break-ins that we are really disappointed that nothing is being done to warn tourists. One does not associate Newfoundland with this kind of "Looking over your shoulder" stuff. Mall security were absolutely obnoxious and did not want to have anything to do with us. We had a wonderful trip 'till then, driving across the province and ferrying to Labrador for a couple of days. Unfortunately all 180 or so pictures I took were in the stolen camera. Grrrrrrr! Bill |
