Bus_Medic Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 It would appear that on or around the days of Friday, August 24th and or Saturday August 25, there was a break in at Wajax on Evans avenue, and also at FIBA Canning Incorporated on Markham road. Parts were unlawfully removed from an Ex TTC Orion VII in secure storage on Wajax property, and from a former York University Orion I owned by FIBA Canning and in secure storage on their property. I won’t publish their name here, especially given their young age, but make no mistake, I’m aware of who they are. Suffice it to say that I have been in personal contact with Mr Canning, apprised him of the incident, and forwarded evidence obtained online, for him to pursue as he sees fit. I also made them aware which online group the pictures were found in, and you better bet they’ll be monitoring that from here on in. I shall be following up with Wajax tomorrow. I urge anyone wishing to approach FIBA Canning regarding access to the bus tread very carefully, if at all. This bus carries a great deal of sentimental value to the family run company and was very dear to company’s late founder. 2 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bus carries a great deal of sentimental value to the family run company and was very dear to company’s late founder. I drove by Wajax last Saturday evening and noticed the right tail light panel on the Orion VII was damaged. Looks like someone tried to pry open it without opening the engine door first causing it to twist and partially break off. Guess I know why now. Wonder if it was the same turd who almost froze to death trying to steal parts from the scrap yard last winter.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogPentium Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I honestly find this really sad because I know fanners from New York and they said no one has ever done anything this bad, save for breaking into subway cabs or ripping depot stickers off buses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancouvertransitfoam Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I'll add on to this by saying the looter has also broken into DRT 8520 while looting the OG and managed to steal the front stop bell, Luminator ODK4, and handheld fire extinguisher, as well as damaged the build plate. He did it in a very crude way, by cutting the cables with scissors or bruteforcing the cables out along with his desired item. There are also rumours going around that he was responsible for a recent incident at McNicoll garage, where someone broke into the garage and allegedly stole parts from or intended for 2252. The looter also had plans to loot Langilles of possible Orion Vs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTio Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Is there an update from TPS or OPP about this situation? And I’m sorry what happened to you @Bus_Medic you didn’t deserve your bus to be looted and I hope they can lock these kids up, and get all of your parts back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Nothing happened to me, I’m just a messenger with a modest list of industry contacts. What happens next is entirely up to Jeremy Canning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggosareamazing Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 There is always that one person who has to ruin the bus preservation or recycling experience. It's not hard to pick up a telephone and ask, hey I was interested in so and so part. Also, don't trespass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin3157 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I’ve also heard of the unconfirmed report from the foreperson that they may have been to McNicoll garage. TTC management and enforcement are aware of the recent incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did initially have intentions of selling the Allison selector from 7423, as he was aware of its value, though he later dropped the idea of profiting off of this looting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when me and him were friends, he kept saying he was gonna move to Edmonton, then he called it off, and now with the recent lootings and the immense backlash he's receiving, he's dying to get to Edmonton. I have no word on whether he has fled Ontario yet, but I know he's going to leave Ontario soon. For the record, I did not support or promote the looting, nor did I take anything.

MCIBUS Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Interesting? One thing I would be carful about saying who this individual is. If this individual is under the age of 18, he or she is protected under the Yong Offenders Act and you and this forum may face charges in revealing this individual name. Also unless this individual has been charged in this offence, you may also be sued in slander & deformation. Remember everyone's presumed incent until proven guilty in a court of law.

If this individual is under 18, Face Book will need to delete those posts, if this individual faces charged as he or she is protected under the Young Offenders Act, other wise Facebook & those posters may face charges for vialating the Young Offenders Act.

Ed T. Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 I passed by today. 7423 has been moved into the fenced-off area where the GO buses, etc. are parked. There was a surprising amount of damage, things like side marker lights pulled--and that was just from driving past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
