Police knew immediately it was a scam because the music purchased was all newer than 20 years and actual Oak Bay music fans would never buy anything so recent.

That is embarrassing is what it is.
My Mom (mid-60s) phoned me in a panic when she got this iTunes email. "But I don't even use iTunes! What do I do!?" I can definitely imagine someone phoning the police for guidance.

Methinks you were a bit flustered trying to quickly pay (and hide) that Justin Bieber bill from iTunes that came in your email

The number of Justin Bieber songs you have on your iPod directly correlates to the level of risk you pose to the community.

I reported somewhere on this site last week about a business called THE WHOLE BEAST on Oak Bay Ave a butcher shop that shares its location with the VILLAGE BUTCHER
Last week it had its front door glass smashed in and someone helped themselves to the cash register
2 days ago they returned but becasue the Whole Beast has plywood over its door covering the void where the glass was....theives smashed the front door of the Village Butcher shop to gain access to ...once again....the WHOLE BEAST where they removed the complete safe.
Apparently the theives left behind some blood this time.

Thieves cleared an Uplands home of about $25,000 worth of electronics, watches and purses on Christmas Eve.
Oak Bay police say the family left the Lansdowne Road home about 4 p.m. Thursday. When they returned at 7 p.m., several items were missing, said Sgt. Ray Maxwell.

Oak Bay ban on gas equipment impractical
Oak Bay Coun. Tara Ney rallies up the South Oak Bay Garden Gnome Guild, waves a petition of 700 signatures (of unknown origin) at a population of 19,000, promotes a ban on gas-powered lawn equipment, and the Oak Bay council collapses like a cheap tent and leaves the constituents of North Oak Bay in the lurch.
Battery-driven equipment and rakes are fine if you have a postage-stamp lot, but totally impractical in the large oak-tree-dominated lots of North Oak Bay. Raking leaves all day every day during the fall rather than running a gas blower for 20 minutes twice a week to clean them up is just stupid. Cutting a large lawn with a battery-powered lawn mower that sputters out every 20 minutes and needs recharging is both impractical and silly, unless one has nothing but time on their hands.
This tempest started with a noise complaint, so why not just ban lawn equipment use after 4 or 5 p.m. I guess that’s not good enough in this age of local councils preferring to ignore the majority of their constituents in favour of greasing the wheels of a minority that supports their cause.
This authoritarian decision will take a toll on the landscapers who ply their trade in Oak Bay, and one would be foolish to simply accept that battery-powered equipment will get better and less expensive. As for cord power, who wants to drag a cord around a large, unorthodox lot? That can be dangerous. Go green electric if you want to, and maybe invest in the slave trade associated with lithium mining while you are at it. Nothing hypocritical about that.
I am aware this is a First World problem; however, I now know who not to vote for in the next municipal election. As Trudeau the elder tried to say, the state has no business in the garden beds of the nation. Take heed, Oak Bay council.

That was then, this is now. The enlightened 21st-century state now demands to know what's going on in your flower beds.
Anyway, methinks there's a simple solution to this issue that every level of government would enthusiastically support: chop down all the oak trees.

And also spend a few bucks on some strategically located plaques, to inform people about the trees that used to be there.
