Bowen Island is often the model of a sharing economy so the local RCMP detachment is willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the person who picked up a Weber barbecue from the side of the road.
On June 1, the owner left the two-year-old stainless steel bbq near the intersection of David and Ecclestone Roads for her son to pick up, says Cpl. Paulo Arreaga. She put a note on it saying, “Do not remove,” with her contact information. However, on June 4, she discovered that while the barbecue was gone, her son didn’t have it.
The police are not yet ready to call this a theft. Instead, they’re asking the person who took it to drop it off at the RCMP detachment or call 604-947-0516.
