As you may recall, I recieved a courtesy "bad behavior" ticket at the airport last year for not locking my car doors. Last weekend, we parked at the train station and recieved a "thank you for thinking of me" ticket ... worded as if it were from our car. Apparently, we successfully took our keys out of the ignition, put our windows up, put away our valuables, and locked our doors.
With all these tickets, you would think Montreal had a property crime problem. Here's how it compares to cities that we have lived in as an adult. Higest property crime rate in Columbus, lowest in Montreal. 
Doesn't this really mean that the police or public servants are trying to get in to each person's car, when parked in public places...
ReplyDeleteIt's true! We haven't seen it ourselves, but we know witnesses... cops spend their days walking between cars, checking to make sure doors are locked. We even know of someone who got a real ticket ($) for an unlocked door!
