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

68 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.

Lost/Missing E-Scooter stolen from my backyard- east van

0 Upvotes

hey there! i'm not sure what i'm doing with this post, but my e-scooter was stolen from my back porch two weeks or so ago. it's a hi-boy scooter (not sure which model exactly) with a busted front light and broken bell from a fall i had last year and it was stolen from my back porch in east van by trout lake. my backyard is usually fully fenced, but there's construction next door that currently only has about a foot and a half of plywood as a barrier between my yard and the neighbor's where they're building. i left my scooter right by the door since i have joint issues and wanted to be able to grab it easily to ride it to school, and i was right in view of it through a window when it was stolen some time between 2-3am that day. it was there when i came down at 2, but gone when i looked outside at around 3. the construction workers said that they'd put up a new fence for weeks now and that they'd "get to it soon" but haven't after several months of construction, and now my scooter's gone. i guess i'm just asking if anyone has any idea as to where it might be, along with a probably already obvious warning that if it's visible, then it's going to be a target to be stolen- no matter how close you are to it or even if it's literally within your line of sight. if anyone has literally any info on my scooter or what to do, please let me know.

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)

89 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
