It started at 3:00 AM, like a fucking crime wave hitting the neighborhood, honking, beeps, sirens, ambulance, one of those old school alarms that screams "rape" loud enough for the entire fucking city to hear, only letting up intermittently, finally, 7:00 AM and I've had enough, walk down the street and get a license plate. Already the truck is papered with notes from other light sleepers and well wishers in the area, another neighbor is there taking a plate, he thinks the truck is stolen and dumped, I'm not so sure...If the truck isn't stolen, license plate BNJ-6946, you are Calgary's "ASS HOLE OF THE DAY". This in a city that offers pretty stiff competition.
As for the police, well, Bankview is hardly central, and easily 7 blocks from the nearest Tim Hortons, how could they be expected to break up their Friday night over something as trivial as this? Mind you, if it were a crime spree and you were breaking into cars in the downtown core, expect a 6 hour head start before the cops pop out their earplugs...
