There’s Always Tomorrow in the Ongoing Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton

Colonel Sanders: "Bring it on chicken cluckers"

The spouse the kids and I were out walking our pet ferrets, Ian and Morticia, when we chanced to overhear a snippet of conversation as we passed one of those cube vans that was doing double duty as a moving truck.

Moving Van Guy: “So that’s where that jerk lives?”

Neighbor: “Yeah.”

Moving Van Guy: “We should steal some of his stuff that’s sitting out there.”

Neighbor: “Can’t. They have a camera.”

It almost sounds as if the neighbor had previously mulled over the very same thought. Theft. Or, perhaps worse. And if the neighbor had kept his beak closed and a theft had occurred? Then maybe the Human chicken War at Fernbrook Resort Freelton would have finally come to an end. Because it will not end until a chickens loses its head.

Do you want to know what would have happened (in this instance) if a theft had occurred and the perpetrator prosecuted?

1) unless Moving Van Guy had serious priors he would have been given a slap on the wrist. A suspended sentence or perhaps some weekends in the crib.

2) worse (for him) he exposed himself to a civil action. Which could have cost him in the extremely low five figures consisting of a settlement plus costs.

3) and he exposed the moving company he works for to a civil action. He was in their paid employ at the time and using their vehicle. Which would have cost them in the extremely low five figures consisting of a settlement plus costs.

Additionally, the bad press would most certainly have affected his employer’s bottom line. Who hires a moving company employing employees convicted of theft? Not someone with a household of valuables to ship.

And once you get a criminal record entering the United States is impossible.

Because US Border Agents will turn back those with pending criminal charges and convictions as undesirable.

Nipigon's popsicle stick bridge

Which would be horrible for an employee of a moving company that ships across Canada. Because the bridge at Nipigon (constructed out of popsicle sticks believe it or not) on the Trans Canada Highway is closed for the foreseeable future. And this bridge is the only means of driving from Ontario to points west. The best alternative for the driver is to drive south through the Sault and then make a hard right at Superior. 

So no heads cut off the chickens today.

But there is always tomorrow.

Tommorrow is only a day away
