I moved to Canada from England 2 years ago and became a proud Haligonian. I loved it here and thought the people of the city were so nice. Until this weekend. Some ARSEHOLE took my wallet and Halifax Moosehead’s T-Shirt on Saturday night. They ain’t worth anything in money but it was all really important to me. Restore my faith in Halifax please. —LostLauren

restore your faith? did you think that halifax was crime free? does it take so little to sour you on a place?
Best of luck in getting your wallet back, maybe no money but possibly ID, credit cards and such. As far as your Mooseheads T-shirt, you forgot you’re in Moose country, somebody is sporting that.
Welcome to Halifax…sometimes called Paradise, sometimes Detroit East
There’s Arseholes everywhere and in every city, including Jolly ol England, nothing to do with city just some of it’s knobs who live here, do hope you get your belongings back though.
Two years does not a Haligonian make.
silly CFA’s
d’ya ever get a mental picture of these faith yo-yo’s up and down, up and down, in and out of ‘faith’ with each passing breeze. like a balloon. a wisp on the wind of others’ actions.
Tough one OP but every city or town has their fair share of thieves so, no matter where you are, keep your guard up.
We have chavs, but we call them Dartmouthians.
We have grooming gangs, but that’s just OJT for the Cole Harbour Debutant’s Ball. Some of our pols are cunts but nothing on the level of George Galloway. Aside from the strike two winters ago no one has attacked mass transit.
Military folks may occasionally get drunk and fall down but nobody is butchering them in the streets.
And nobody is calling for the imposition of Sharia law, although a victim of theft might be forgiven for wanting to do some serious cutting on the perp.
I hope you get your property back. Your “faith” in Halifax is probably as transitory as a Moosehead beer fart.
We saved the Dutch back in WWII. One day, while in Amsterdam, someone picked my pocket. Amsterfail? No, MY bad! And in YOUR situation? Go home and fuck off.
And of course there are no thieves or criminals in England.
Okay John you and I is gonna have ta have words about Dartmouth.
LOL – some tulip sniffing junkie smashes the window out of my folks 2 week old Jetta in Nijmegen to hook their blaupunkt for cheese money. The Dutch plods were all like:
“Heurtje beurtje beurtje – No real Dutchman vould effer rob a Kanadien. It vuss probably vun of dose damned Moffen from Chermany.”
Dad was all like,
“Yeah right. The Luftwaffe stopped for a little smash’n’grab on the way to bomb Rotterdam”
Cool tune:

Hey Ossifer Tim – I AM a Dartmagoon >: )
When social order finally breaks down, my dacha is right smack on the frontier, between the slavering hordes and the good burghers of Crichton Park.
GIVE LAUREN HER WALLET AND MOOSEHEAD’S T-SHIRT BACK!
For God’s sakes Ivan, give Lauren her wallet and Moosehead’s T-Shirt back!
A pleasure as always.

That was a very DEEP story associated with how the two grandsons came to become friends and inspired him to write the cool tune.
Thanks for sharing.
How did this theif take your wallet. Out of your pocket? Out of your hand? Was it left unattended?
Don’t give up on Halifax. I’m also from England and moved here over 30 years ago, it’s waaaaaaayyyyyy better than Britain. It used to be Great Britain, but that died out when Thatcher was displaced in a coup.
Why do people think Halifax is this amazing place? We have crime, and assholes, and accidents! Every place you go in the world has terrible things that happen.. get over it
Let me get this straight… you’ve had numerous positive experiences in Halifax and you’re going to let 1 negative experience ruin that for you? That’s kind of pathetic, OB.
Having said that, I hope your wallet and t-shirt turn up soon, but I wouldn’t count on it. Some people are criminals, plain and simple, and although Halifax is a great city with many wonderful people, we have our assholes too.
Just realized the title of the bitch. Perhaps you’re the fail, OB, if you don’t notice someone taking a t-shirt off your back or your wallet from your pocket. Or are you that thick to leave them unattended? Laurenfail.
Well then, you better lock yourself in your apartment and wait for the apocalypse to be over.
Maybe don’t take off all your clothes in a crack house?
Tell your dog and it’s offspring to avoid Preston.
I knew that one of Looney Farrakhan’s Fruits of islam was up here coaching basketball – I didn’t know that Michael Vick had come here for the winter sports. Maybe Bieber’s antics were lowering the porperty values in his gated community.
Suck it up buttercup, things happen, Halifax is a great town, not perfect in anyway. Things happen, adjust, and move on.
