elvis15 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 4 hours ago, DonLever said: What a bunch of idiots running this company. A simple solution is to hire a full time on site security guard instead of the "State of the Art Surveillance System". It is like a home alarm system, by the time cops come the crooks are long gone. They spend millions to repair the cable last time and can't afford to hire a full time security guard who are usually paid low wages? Looks like you didn't bother to read the story. 4 hours ago, DonLever said: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sea-to-sky-gondola-vandalism-2020-1.5723042 ... He said the person who cut the cable Sunday triggered the automatic alarm system at around 4 a.m. PT. The RCMP were instantly called. "I've seen with my own eyes this morning exactly what happened," said Brown, who has access to the security footage. As was said, you vastly overrate the power of a security guard, or even multiple ones to prevent someone from doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so too but I took a quick look and the maximum punishment is more severe for property damage (mischief) >$5000 .. 10 year max sentence I think if an indictable offence Throw the book at these idiots if they are ever found... https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/justice/criminal-justice/bcs-criminal-justice-system/if-you-are-accused-of-a-crime/understanding-charges/types-of-offences Property damage Offences[edit] Offence Code Section Election Dispositions Minimum Maximum (Summary) Maximum (Indictable) Mandatory Orders Discretionary Orders Mischief under $5,000 430(4) Hybrid Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A 6 months jail or $5,000 fine 2 years jail Mischief over $5,000 430(3) Hybrid Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A 6 months jail or $5,000 fine 10 years jail Arson (disregard for human life) 433 Indictable Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A N/A life 109(1)(d) / 491 110(1)(b) / 462.37 / 486(4.1) / 738 / SDO Arson (damage to property) 434 / 434.1 Indictable Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A N/A 14 years jail 109(1)(d) / 491 110(1)(b) / 462.37 / 486(4.1) / 738 / SDO Arson (fraudulent purpose) 435 Indictable Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A N/A 10 years jail Arson (negligence) 436(1) Indictable Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A N/A 5 years jail Possession of Incendiary Materials 436.1 Indictable Dis / SS / F / F+Pb / Im / Im+Pb / F+Im / CSO N/A N/A 5 years jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the alternative is rebuilding the gondola for millions of dollars (2 years in a row now) then the cost-benefit is there.. these vandals seem determined I concede it would be very difficult to patrol the entire wilderness where the gondola is located though I am sure security experts smarter than I could figure it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on @Squamfan. JK But clearly someone who has a vendetta against the business and tourists it brings. With all this “state of the art” technology they claimed to have brought in, hopefully they have a lead of some sort. Also you need a heavy duty torch to burn through that cable, so whoever did it would’ve had to carry up a canister or two up the tower and lug it back down all before the RCMP arrive. Whoever did this has risked their life to break this cable twice. Both times have happened at night so their intent is not malicious or else people would’ve died over their actions. They don’t want the 400,000 Annual visitors around their town clearly. Kirby Brown might lose his job over this if they don’t catch whoever did it though. Lastly you gotta feel for the insurance company that has to pay the tab on this...again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
