This happened to you? What day/time?

I just want everyone to know that this happened and to keep a look out for anything and also to not panic/freak-out if the same thing happens to you.

On Saturday at approximately 3 PM I was heading down Mountain Highway. I was just past the gate and about 1/3 to McNair when I heard what sounded like a stone hit my drivers side glass panel at the back of the vehicle. It sounded like a sharp 'ping on the glass' like a stone had been whipped at it. I stopped about 100 metres down got out and could not see where the impact was.

Today I looked very carefully and found there what was a very small chip/remnant of a small lead bb stuck to the window.

When I scratched it off the window it fell and I was unable to identify it from the dirt on the ground. It left a very small permanent chip in the vehicle glass side window.

Due to the way our vehicle is made it is impossible for a stone from the tires to reach around the side panel and hit that part of the vehicle. Which leaves me with only one conclusion ... someone shot at my vehicle as it passed by with a BB gun.

I was not speeding and was in fact going slower than the speed limit when this happened, maybe 35km/hr max.

edit: After reading news just this I am tempted to report this incident also to the police. It was shot from the side and if someone has the driver window down and get's bb'd in the face .... well that would not be a good day for anyone.

It is not just Facebook and Social Media. Also #slack and friends are providing the same facility as forums bu8t doing it in a more flexible and fun way. That's hard to quantify until trying them.

The hermit was probably only a small threat.

Anyone else think that Mark Wood's contributions to the Shore should be recognized in a formal way? Community award, plaque somewhere on the shore? It seems to me that he's done mostly good stuff for the mtb community.

Agreed.

apparently Squamish RCMP are involved as the perps have been recognized as squamish locals…hope they get them

Good and ditto!

Hope someone recognizes them! Saw this posted on the Bike Squamish FB page.

When you scroll down to the comments, there are the actual videos of them stealing the bikes and looking more into the cameras around the hotel.

Cops attended to a fellow that may have stolen a bike.
Clearly not his bike -- nice bike and looked more-or-less homeless.
They stopped him, asked some questions, checked the serial #.
Came clean - no thefts registered against it.
Guy rode away.
Into the wind.
Register your bikes serial #!

This stuff really works!
