Bizarre offerings and cryptic messages have put a chill into a Saanich womanB次元官网网址檚 cigarette break.
Michelle Schile came across the first token back in January, when she found the rock she sits on for her cigarette break covered in mud and manure.
On that January day, Schile went down to the large boulder at the side of the road behind Lochside elementary school, like sheB次元官网网址檚 been doing for the past 18 years. She found the rock, located down a bank near the Lochside Trail, had been covered with mud and manure.
B次元官网网址淚 cleaned it off, then the next time I went down there was more mud, so I thought, B次元官网网址極K, this is getting weird,B次元官网网址� said Schile who works at the school.
And it only got weirder from there, as the surprises kept coming B次元官网网址� sometimes every few days, sometimes after a break of a week or two. A can of soup, garbage, motor oil, a dead snake.
B次元官网网址淚t got so disgusting, and I got tired of cleaning it up,B次元官网网址� said Schile, who called Saanich public works to bring absorbent to soak up the oil.
B次元官网网址淭he last time it was so disgusting, it was really gross. He must have scraped the bottom of his boat, because there were barnacles, crab legs, mussel shells. It was crawling with flies and stunk to high heaven. You can just imagine rotten seafood in the sun, it was really disgusting.B次元官网网址�
She contacted police but was told there was little they could do about the incidents.
Sgt. Jereme Leslie confirms Saanich Police were contacted about the incident, but said there was no damage done to the rock and police have been unable to identify a suspect.
B次元官网网址淎s it stands now the essential elements of the offence have not been met so it doesnB次元官网网址檛 meet the threshold of harassment as outlined in the Criminal Code,B次元官网网址� said Leslie, adding police have concluded the file.
But Schile wasnB次元官网网址檛 ready to let it go, placing a camera in the bush focused on the rock. After weeks of positioning and repositioning the camera, she finally captured a photo of the legs and torso of who she describes as an older man.
B次元官网网址淛ust cause I was mad, I wrote out on a piece of paper the definition of petty and the definition of passive aggressive, laminated it and left it there.B次元官网网址�
She said the note disappeared, before returning a couple weeks later with a message on the back.
B次元官网网址淚t said he is part of a cycling group and there have been six smoking-related deaths in the group. His wife died of cancer. He said we wonB次元官网网址檛 foul your reading rock if you donB次元官网网址檛 foul our air. Now I know itB次元官网网址檚 directed at me,B次元官网网址� said Schile, adding she checked with CRD to make sure she wasnB次元官网网址檛 in violation of clean-air bylaws, and makes sure she doesnB次元官网网址檛 leave cigarette butts behind.
She says more than 30 items have been left at the rock, the latest coming at the end of June when a dead snake greeted her at the rock. Police have advised her not to leave any more notes for the subject, who had been responding on B.C. Coroners Service stationary. School just wants the situation to end, and hopes someone using the Lochside Trail might have observed someone placing items on the rock.
B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 know what he looks like. He could cycle by me every day, itB次元官网网址檚 creepy. Every time a cyclist goes by, IB次元官网网址檓 like, B次元官网网址業s it you?B次元官网网址�
HeB次元官网网址檚 just a nut job and he needs to be stopped.B次元官网网址�
