****BEWARE THIEVES BROKE INTO THE CAR WHILE PARKED IN THE ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE****
Our rental car was broken into while parked in the assigned parking space in the underground garage of the building. The thieves broke into the car and stole our Osprey Poco AG Premium baby carrier purchased for our trip in order to go on hikes with our baby. The robbery occurred on our last night at the apartment, where we left the carrier hidden in the trunk, since we were checking out early the next morning and there was no longer a need to take it upstairs for just one night. They broke in thru the driver’s side and caused some damage to the door handle. Throughout the building there are multiple signs stating to guard your valuables due to thieves which should have been a red flag as I have never seen that many signs posted everywhere you could see them, but due to the high price we were paying in order to stay in such a nice part of town, we thought we would be safe and we couldn’t have imagined something like this happening as the apartment building and garage seemed secure. As it is not easy to get into the building, my fear is that someone that lives there was the culprit.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you are using your own car/rental, especially having a license plate from anywhere outside of British Columbia as this might be an invitation for the thieves to check out your car.
If you don’t have a car, then maybe this apartment will work out for you.
