"Safe, $1600 Stolen From Navy Barracks," Vancouver Sun. October 12, 1943. Page 17. --- A heavy safe, containing $800 in cash and $800 in cheques, was lowered from a window in HMCS Discovery, naval barracks here, to a waiting boat on September 25, it was revealed today.

The strong box was recovered four days later at Twenty-fourth and Ontario. The dial had been knocked off and the contents taken.

Authorities discovered rope from a sailor's hammock was missing at the time the safe disappeared, leading to the be lief that someone stationed in the barracks is responsible.

A short time after the theft was discovered, a naval boat was found near the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in Coal Harbor.

Authorities found where the boat had been moored and where the safe had been taken from it, apparently to a waiting auto.

AI and Tumblr

In the event of any kind of AI Art API is to be trained on this platform I do not give permission for my art to be sampled or used to train AI without financial compensation, artists hold the copyright to our art and any intentional mimicry or sampling of my art by an artificial intelligence is infringing on an artist's rights to their creations.

We as artists will not take this grim proposal between Tumblr and Midjourney laying down, this was the last safe heaven for a lot of us and you are now holding knives to us entirely to solve your financial woes instead of offering meaningful solutions. You are going to bleed your community of all trust and all revenue you still eek out of us. Your ways have changed from one of a community built around passion for fandom and the creative mind to one of greed and exclusion. You have been showing true colors and they are ugly, they are sickening, and they will kill your platform. If this deal goes through, may your platform die slow and painfully, may you watch your most loyal of whales walk away and leave you drying out in the hot pavement that is bankruptcy.

"ROBBERS CARRY OFF 400-POUND SAFE, GET $650," Winnipeg Tribune. May 9, 1933. Page 3. ---- Premises of General Motors Products, Assiniboine Ave., Raided --- Robbers broke into two Winnipeg business houses during the week- end. In one place they carried off a 400-pound safe containing $600 and $50 in stamps and in the other case they got away with $300 worth of cigarettes.

The safe was taken from the premises of the General Motors Products of Canada, Ltd., 270 Assiniboine ave., where entrance was gained by forcing the rear door. The heavy strong box was dragged more than 50 feet from the office at the front to the loading platform at the rear. The burglars must have had a truck in which to carry off their loot.

Another rear door entrance was made at the warehouse of the Winnipeg Wholesale Grocery and Confectionery Co., 903 Main st., where several cartons of cigarettes, valued at $300, were taken. No attempt was made to tamper with the safe.

Today I present to you a liiiiiiittle self indulgent comic I made for myself. Future!Leonardo (Rise) is one of my fictional caregivers so I draw myself with him sometimes to make my little kiddo self happy! ⭐️🐢

This comic is just entirely based off the fact that, growing up, I would constantly wander off/run away from my family in public at any chance I got. To the point where I probably should have been kept on a leash egdhveshbs (and diagnosed with autism let’s be so fr)

On a slightly more serious note, wandering/running away from a caregiver can be dangerous so make sure to always hold their hand in public if needed, but this just a silly comic so! That’s it! 😊��

All drawings were created by yours truly (ME :3) and all dividers were created by @kodaswrld so you should go follow and support them! 💕💕

So, my friend just left their job at a certain chain of grocery stores that starts with a W and decided to share some interesting facts with me. I thought y'all might find it interesting, too.

W has had a major problem with theft since introducing the "no plastic bags". People keep putting things in their personal bags at the self checkout or even leaving them purposely in their bags at the cash registers (and most cashiers don't actually check for hidden items if other bags are inside of the main bag or if it's not obvious).

They've applied new locks to certain items that hang because people would just pull them off of the old locks. They're actually planning to introduce more security measures in the future - specifically, putting many items behind locked glass doors.

W's self checkout now has features where it can detect a ticket switch (scanning another product in place of the actual product) and a mis-scan. Pretty interesting stuff! Apparently, though, it's not always 100% accurate, and if someone were to scan the second ticket in such a way that the camera above couldn't see it, it may not be able to detect it. The machine, however, can tell when two VERY different items do not match (ex: scanning a pair of expensive headphones as a fruit). If it detects a problem, the attendant can pause the transaction and review the footage of the last item that was scanned. Definitely a helpful security feature!

The greeters at the front of the store are trained to only check a receipt if there are unbagged items. Along with that, if they see a bag or backpack, they'll check receipts then, too, and will look inside of the bag if the customer allows it. Crazy thing is that you can deny having your receipt checked! They can't and won't do anything if a customer just walks past them, and if they try to stop a customer leaving, W can get sued.

The only W personnel who are allowed to deal with shoplifters and the like are the Asset Protection Team™. No one else is allowed to touch a suspected thief, nor are they allowed to accuse a customer of stealing. If a customer is accused of stealing and forced through a receipt check yet hasn't stolen anything, W legally has to compensate them for the hassle upon request (with proof, such as camera footage, the request simply can't be denied, though W may try to prolong the process).

W employees are required to clean up spills immediately upon seeing them. I'd say most employees will just leave the spill, grab the equipment, then come to clean it up in reality, but they're supposed to "guard" the spill until they can find another associate to help them clean it up. I'm just saying, but this seems like a really unfortunate distraction that could take an employee's attention away from other matters, such as if there's suspicious activity nearby and someone was purposely creating some kind of distraction. These spills do make their jobs harder, however.

One of the biggest issues that I heard about was people scanning the quantity of certain items as less than there actually were (specifically at self checkouts). Pastries and fruits are a good example of this. Some people will enter one cookie but actually have 3, for example. I think the items this happens most often with are cookies, donuts, avocados, bananas, lemons, limes, mangoes, cantaloupes, and any items that like those that don't require a weight to purchase. This is the case with most grocery store self checkouts, however.

Although many of the cameras W places within random store aisles are fake, those that are placed near expensive items tend to be legit cameras. There was a post that circulated online about how these cameras tend to be fake, and due to that post, you'll now see lots of thieves get caught on cameras that they assumed were not real. It's so wild when you see those videos on YouTube! Those videos literally expose the identities of the people who steal to potentially thousands of people across the world and establish shitty reputations for said people. Other stores are made aware of their identities and can more easily prevent the stealing!

Speaking of those videos, it's very silly to watch those thieves try to hide things in their coats or bags just to discover that the items don't fit. It's almost as if they didn't check beforehand to make sure they'd have enough room, especially without it being noticeable! I mean, don't they practice in a mirror or even have a loved one who checks to see if it's obvious? That's so wild to me!

While associates who are at registers and self checkouts aren't allowed to intervene if they see or suspect a thief, they do have to immediately alert the managers and asset protection. It's pretty wild to see this process in action and watch how quickly the team can move! I've even heard of asset protection being allowed to tackle customers they believe are stealing, although I've never seen this in action. I kind of feel like tackling a thief, especially one you're not sure is actually a thief, would be a good way to get W sued, you know?

I feel like SOOOOO many thieves get caught by giving themselves away, tbh. I guess this isn't something my friend told me, but I've seen it happen so many times in security footage videos on YouTube where the person stealing will look around them as they're grabbing the item, quickly put the item into wherever, look around again, and use a lot of nervous body language as they try to exit the store. Like, the best thieves I've seen have always acted very confident - being aware of their surroundings before grabbing the item, grabbing the item very casually, finding a casual way to slip it into somewhere as they walk away, and walking out with the confidence that they know exactly what they're doing and absolutely nothing is wrong. They seem to walk with their backs straight and their heads held up a bit, almost as if to say "I'm not worried". Either that, or they walk with a very relaxed stride, like that of someone who's just walking into W and walking back out for no reason in particular. When they put too much thought into how they walk, however, it becomes much more obvious. A dead giveaway is probably when the thief acts fidgety, seems paranoid, displays signs of being very nervous whenever an associate is nearby or watching them, and walks very rigidly. You also tend to see good thieves going to checkout lanes that are the furthest from an employee or are in a spot in the middle. Pretty interesting!

Please share this if you'd like! This information is very important for us customers to be aware of. Hopefully, we can spot security threats ourselves and report them to employees of any store! I'm sure many of these things happen at other stores besides W.

For the selfshippers who struggle with taking care of their teeth, have teeth issues, have a fear of the dentist, etc

Imagine your f/o(s) taking you to a dental appointment, being there for emotional support

the riddling anxiety, the fear of being lectured, being dissapointed in, the dental tools they use..

They can see your fear and anxiety, they know you would do anything to not go to the dentist.

That's why they would do everything they can to help you feel more safe and calm. Get a new dentist office? Done. Have them come with you into the building/room? Done. Words of encouragement/affirmation? Done. Needing headphones with music/videos playing? Done.

They'll be there to sit near you for support and make sure everything's going okay (if you want them too)

When everything's a success / done, they'll let you know how much they are proud of you for getting through it.

For whichever circumstances that happened that caused you have to have cavities, root canals, rotten teeth; they know you don't want them. No one ever does. They're not angry, they're not dissapointed in you. They just want to help when you need it

Antis dni, this post isn't for you
