Opinion 4 Shellbrook Chronicle www.shellbrookchronicle.com January 17, 2019 “Perspective is everything”

I was sitting in the local A&W waiting for my order. OK, so it was my turn to cook. What can I say. To kill time during the wait, I opened a recent issue of the Calgary Sun and began read- ing an article about how Alberta law enforcement officials were expressing some satisfaction over a crime prevention effort that had been underway in the province. The cause for satisfaction was a reported 9 per cent drop in various crimes reported. “That’s 638 fewer vehicles stolen,” the official was quoted as saying, “and 366 fewer break and enters, and 3,358 fewer thefts.” Having been a victim of a vehicle theft myself, it was somewhat heartwarming to consider that there were possibly 638 fewer disappointed families deprived of their vehicle and who would have had to go through ne- gotiations with their insurance provider for compensation, settling on an amount which would be unlikely to be enough to replace the vehicle.
