The Whitby Report – September 30, 2019

Today is Monday, September 30, 2019. I am your host Stone and this is The Whitby Report.

Weather (The Garden Report)
Today we had more seasonal temperatures, hitting a high of 17°C. I found weeds starting to grow in my garden. I dug as far deep as I could and pulled the little bastards out. The radishes should mature by Saturday; I’m going to pull one and see how it looks before pulling the rest. Since this is my first go at a Garden, I’m not really sure what to be looking for!

Local News / Stone’s Take
Missing Your Shotgun? Whitby OPP Officers Have It. So, this article says the shotgun “flew off the back of a vehicle”. I’m not sure that is necessarily true because the OPP are also quoted as saying two things:

1 – “If you have information or if you’re the owner give the OPP a call.” This means they are not sure who the owner is yet or perhaps the serial number is not on the gun.

2 – “If you were driving and saw this gun go flying off a vehicle, if you have a plate or dash cam video please let us know.” Again, how do they know if flew off? They don’t have a plate or dash cam video, so why assume it flew off?

Perhaps they something from the MTO cameras that monitor the highways? I’m guessing they’ve looked for prints and came up with nothing, otherwise why ask for information from the public? I honestly feel like someone ditched it so they wouldn’t be caught with it.

Regardless of opinion, if you have any information please contact the Whitby OPP detachment at 1-888-310-1122.
