Should we be suspicious?
A few days ago we came home to find a car just inside our drive and a woman sorting/rifling through our mail! Her story was that she thought it was the letterbox of Tom and Lilla Brummer, or names like that, and that they had said they'd leave something in their box for her to pick up. She then thought they lived somewhere in our Place (Eglinton), and we assured her that they didn't. We didn't know whether to believe her or not so gave her the benefit of the doubt; but now we wonder. Does anyone know of these people? They are not in the phone book.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
