   This according to Channel 21 news today has cost them 5 million dollars. Hire   
   a K9 security team a security dude and a German Shepherd or something like   
   that. When the motion detector and lights go off then the security team can   
   confront or call the cops    
   hopefully both. I don't know who owns the gondala but I would be pissed by   
   this happening a second time. Cops say they have video but haven't released   
   any. Doubt it was bigfoot. Was it a FTW a extortion attempt a disgruntled   
   employee, a total crazy,    
   extremist enviromentalist, perhaps a business competitor.   
      
   When I worked at NSD on Canfor in New West, BC circa 1997 they had a overnight   
   security dude. Ppl in years past had roamed unto the property which didn't   
   have a back fence just a concrete barrier which you could climb over. They   
   eventually got rid of the    
   $12 an hour security dude because they pointed out nothing ever happens here   
   at night anymore. Within a month someone broke into the generator shack and   
   stole the $5k generator. No generator the office has no power and the light   
   for the night crew don't    
   work. Although a legit company I never had a problem with, this location   
   wasn't connected to the electric grid because the City of New West wouldn't   
   give them the permits because they wanted the location moved because it didn't   
   fit the zoning code.
