WALTER Huelse’s good-
will has resulted in litte
more than bad feelings.

Huelse is a North Vancouver
building manager who was filling a
vacancy last week when chungs
turned sour.

A man who called himself Bob
had expressed interest in renting
the suite and made plans to look at
it asc Wednesday.

“I couldn’t show him this par-
ticular suite because it was so
messy,” said Huelse, who had
arranged to show an identical one
ona different floor.

tHuclse said Bab seemed ta like
what he saw and expressed an inter-
est in taking it.

“He told me he was just gutting
off work and he was going to came
back with his wife,” said Hnelse,
67.

The avo made their way back to
Huclse’s apartment where Bob
could fill out an application. The
prospective tenant left soon after
without incident.

Some time later, it hit Huelse:
his wallet was missing. To make
matters worse the occupant of the
suite he had shown to the man con-
tacted him a short time later to say
some of her jewelry was also miss-
ing.

“This is what is going on on the
North Shore sight now,” surmised

Huelse. “This ane detinicely knew
what he was doing.”

In addition to having his faith in
peopie deeply shaken, Huelse is
faced with the prospect oF repiacing
the contents of his wallet. In addi-
tion to the usual driver’s licence
and credit cards he is out $140
cash. In the furure, Hucise said he
won't show a §

pletely empty even if it means not

until itis com- -

¢
showing the place unti! the last day |

of the month.

“The landlords will just have ro

take the loss,” said Hucls«. “I don’t

want to cake the chance of people ~
coming to nic and saving this or --

that is missing.”

Hueise described Bob as being
3°8”, 35 to 37 vears of age and
“very polite.”
