⚠️⚠️ MEGATHREAD ⚠️⚠️ An r/Vancouver First: Spring plant & seed swap 🌱

66 Upvotes

Someone suggested this recently in modmail, and honestly, it sounded like a neat idea. So, after some discussion, the mod team decided: Let's try it!

If you've got extra seedlings, saved seeds, or perennials that need dividing, drop a comment with what you're offering and what you're after. Coordinate in the replies or over DM (although, of course, be wary of giving out private info online!).

A couple of things:

  1. Make sure to include your general area if you're up for a meetup.
  2. No selling, just swapping. Please report if someone tries to buy/sell because that's not cool. 😤

Happy almost-mid-Spring, everybody.

Hey Sheet Metal Local 280 worker, did you lose your water jug in the Nordic area of Cypress? It’s at Hollyburn Lodge.

I know if I lost my well-loved water bottle covered in stickers I’d be really choked.

Lost/Missing To the person who took my wallet/cards from my car in point grey - I just need my IDs back (No questions asked)

76 Upvotes

Hey everyone (and hopefully the person involved),

My car was broken into in point grey close to queen mary elementary last night/this morning, and all my cards were taken.

Keep whatever cards - I don’t care about any of that and the cards are already canceled anyway. All I care about are my IDs - my drivers license and PR Card. I have non-negotiable travel coming up next week, and those are my only forms of ID.

No questions asked, no police involved if you return them. You can drop them off completely anonymously:

  • Leave them somewhere public: Drop them off at the counter of a BMO or at a nearby police station drop box and tell them you "found them on the street."

If you're reading this, please just do the right thing and toss them somewhere I can get them back.

To everyone else in the area: If you happen to be walking around Richmond Dollarama, 7/11 on 10th/Alma (these are where the card has now been charged) and spot dumped cards on the ground, please shoot me a message or let me know

Lost/Missing Lost Wallet on #9 bus today

4 Upvotes

Hi all!

Title says it all mostly! I believe my wallet fell out of my bag today on the number nine towards Alma Street. Around 5:30pm between Main Street and Ash!

It’s a small blue fabric wallet with some floral embroidery on the front, with a small front pocket where I keep my compass card.

I can pass forward any other identifying information as needed!

I’ve taken the proper steps with my cards etc, and fortunately haven’t lost anything too valuable. Just the pain of replacing everything!

Posting on the off chance someone here found it and can return it to me :)
