Unfathomable! Someone actually stole the catalytic converter from the transport vehicle at St. Michael's Centre in Burnaby.
It is inexcusable to steal from anyone, and just downright cruel to vandalize this mode of transport used for people living out their last years in a Care Home. This vehicle is used to take them on various outings such as Stanley Park, The Petting Zoo, Pumpkin Patch, Queen Elizabeth Park, and even sometimes just out for a cruise to get some ice cream. I can attest to the fact that many of the residents do not have any visitors at all and look forward to just getting out for a drive.
These thieves are disrespectful, pathetic and probably illiterate and most likely won’t read this letter. I doubt these criminal elements in our society will even make it to their twilight years, but just maybe, one day, they will be living in care home facility pondering their past actions. If this is ever the case, I wonder if one hot summer’s afternoon they will have no visitors and no staff to drive them anywhere and they will literally be dying for a cone.
