Neighbourhood Watch at Bruce Beach
Submitted by Ross Klopp on October 19, 2009 - 3:17pm
The following e-mail message spells out the importance of having an eye out for our neighbour's property when at the beach.
-----
We received news yesterday that our cottage at 176 Bruce Beach had been broken into probably on Friday night Oct 16th. The intruders came in through a window in our sun room on the second floor although the cottage was apparently locked up tightly. Tools that were being used by our neighbor to do some work on the cottage were stolen but we don't yet know if anything else was taken because we are living in the Netherlands and can't get to the cottage to see. The police have been in to investigate and I understand from them that the cottage next to us was also broken into.
We wanted to let you know so that you will be aware and perhaps can alert others to the fact so that they will be on the lookout for anything going on along the beach. The investigating officer is Karen Green and the number to call is 519 396 3341 if anyone has a similar problem or wants to report anything. I believe there is a cottage watch group that keeps an eye on our cottages over the winter and if so it would be a good idea to let them know that there have been at least two break-ins so far this season - not a good start to the winter!
Best regards,
Heather and Jim Wall

The following is a note I just received from Jim Woods, cotage 83, at the base of the 8th hill.… continue reading »

Bruce Beach Neighbourhood Watch
Submitted by Ross Klopp on July 23, 2008 - 9:29amDue to the number of incidents the last while perhaps it
is time to institute a NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH along Bruce Beach. If you
see something or somebody that doesn't look right, somebody that you question
has any business being on Bruce Beach, challenge them. Ask them whether
you might help them with what they are looking for just to let them know that someone is aware of them being on the property and, if in doubt, do not hesitate
to call the O.P.P.… continue reading »
