photo of the missing $350 life vests

I was thinking about this earlier today.

 

The know the names and addresses of all the rescued fisherman. The must, as they are being charged by Oro.

 

Just go knock on their doors, and ask for the vests back.?? No??

 

And these vests are a stock Salus item.

And you can buy the vest on their website for $270..

We don't have absolute proof that the fisherman are the ones who have the vests. I am sure there were other people at the scene who could have picked up a vest; or the vests may at another fire department.

 

It may be worth giving them a call though. Having to tell someone they don't have the vest may be enough to trigger their concience if it is sitting in their basement.

Right from the article:

 

 

"The city’s fire department has not made an attempt to ask the anglers to return the vests due to the amount of time it would take to identify and contact each one, Hoffmann said, adding the majority of them live in the Greater Toronto Area.

 

Vests should be returned to Barrie fire headquarters at 155 Dunlop St. W."

 

 

 

 

The rescued fishermen may not have them, but surly for $2100 it is worthwhile to make less then 26 phone calls.

 

And if it isn't, then the BFD should not be making an issue of it.
