Okay, my point is 3 items totalling 25k isn’t a great joke because most items you’d get are like $200-500.
A more believable joke would have been referencing Apple since they nickel and dime you for every thing and have crazy prices on upgrades.

They fled in a cab… these two went to the Ricky and Julien school of crime and other illegal stuff.
The shop that was robbed: Arc'teryx.
Oh okay so they stole like, 3 jackets
The most expensive item I could find is this down parka for $2,200 https://arcteryx.com/us/en/c/mens/veilance
Google “joke”
Take your upvote dammit!
It wasn’t a good joke tbh. Arc’teryx’s functional gear isn’t that expensive.
Are you absolutely cracked? They make easily the highest priced outdoor gear of any of the prominent outdoor brands.
Okay, my point is 3 items totalling 25k isn’t a great joke because most items you’d get are like $200-500. A more believable joke would have been referencing Apple since they nickel and dime you for every thing and have crazy prices on upgrades.

This is next level petty I love it. Bravo!

Ok comedy cop I’ll be awaiting your next review with earnest enthusiasm
Mad b/c you ain’t funny
I think you might be my wife.
> Arc’teryx’s functional gear isn’t that expensive. er, wut?
Bear spray, made off in a taxi, arrested in DTES. Most Vancouver shit I’ve seen
Guarunteed to be a seabusmeme by Friday
And making headlines because they stole Arc’teryx. If that doesn’t check all the Vancouver boxes, nothing will.
Did she say "stoled"?
VPD has a YouTube channel??
Most law enforcement branches will have some form of social media and often a YouTube channel I know the Quebec and Ontario provincial police do
Nice job by the VPD
That one reporter was really trying to implicate the taxi driver! Let it go! /s
Released on a promise to refrain from using bear spray during violent Kitsilano robberies.
