Truck torched

A PICKUP truck was torched ia North Vancouver City
on Dec. 1S.

According to a North Vancauver City Fire Department
spokesman, the incident occurred at about 11:26 p.m. in
the 300-bioch of Mahon Aveaue.

The spokesman said the truck was left untocked.

Said losp. Dave Burgess, “Ie appears someone was
walking through the lanes, rummaging through the gar-
bage containers and used the nearest unlocked vehicle as
a place to get out of the cold.’

Investigators found in the fire debris remnants from
household garbage, including frozen food trays, the re-
mains of shoes, and an electric can opener.

Upon leaving the vehicle the suspect either intentional-
ly ignited the truck or accidentally set it on fire. The
Datsun pickup is a write-off.

Burgess advises residents to keep their vehicles locked.

looking for a job.”

“Laid off.” I thought that was something that happened to
other people. At first I was devastated. Then I got it together and
went into my Canada Employment Centre. I figured they could
find me a job.

But I was wrong. They don't find jobs any more - they help
people find jobs for themselves. 1 worked with a counsellor, one-
on-one, and in group sessions with people who were as surprised
as I was to find themselves in this situation.

Turns out my interests, and aptitudes, were in a totally
different line of work. With the right rraining and temporary
financial assistance, 1 found the best job I’ve ever had.

I walked into my Canada Employment Centre to find a
job. What I really found was myself.
