00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. It is Friday, October the 16th, 2.45 a.m.,
00:00:10.220 and I'm on location, as you can see, with Mr. and Mrs. Albertan. I get up this morning
00:00:15.300 just after 1 o'clock, I think. I got a message just around 11 o'clock. Are you up? We caught
00:00:21.340 the guy, or we got him. And we're talking about the sign vandal, the forever Canadian
00:00:26.220 goon that's been going around and chopping down signs all around Calgary. I get regular messages
00:00:32.080 from Mr. and Mrs. Albertan. The other night, 10 different signs were chopped down. And Mr. Albertan,
00:00:38.200 thanks a lot for doing this, by the way, for going out and doing this every night, ladies and
00:00:41.860 gentlemen. They're fixing signs. They're destroyed every night. And I know the other day there was
00:00:46.340 a picture that was circulating of a black SUV or something, license number and everything,
00:00:52.240 i think got online i do have the picture myself i'm going to black it out yeah this person is
00:00:56.540 innocent until proved guilty but you got you saw this guy tonight and you actually we have some
00:01:01.440 dash footage of this hopefully we can get it off your camera and show people we'll black it out
00:01:05.860 again but what happened tonight we were fixing a sign down in silver springs that has been damaged
00:01:11.700 a number of times he actually has attacked it twice or maybe even three times but while we were
00:01:16.880 there we're just buttoning up we finished uh fixing up that sign and as we were loading everything up
00:01:22.140 and just strapping last things through, this black SUV drives by.
00:01:26.760 And you recognized it.
00:01:27.420 With some colorful land.
00:01:28.800 Yeah, he was like, scry, you know, doing what they do.
00:01:32.960 And made us both look up.
00:01:35.300 And when he looked up, it was like, that's the guy.
00:01:37.820 So we both loaded in the truck with the trailer on the back
00:01:40.820 and went steaming after him.
00:01:42.700 And we managed to find him down on another sign,
00:01:46.380 vandalizing the next sign on the road.
00:01:48.460 Right.
00:01:48.980 So this guy's been hitting a lot of them.
00:01:50.960 and do you think he's using a chainsaw or something to do this?
00:01:54.260 I know some of them are tipped over, but some of them are really damaged
00:01:57.460 and you've got to repair them.
00:01:58.300 This guy in particular, we call him the saw guy because he saws them all.
00:02:01.140 Right.
00:02:01.380 He's got a sawzall.
00:02:02.640 That's his favorite tool.
00:02:03.540 But he has done two, at least three, or at least two, maybe three with a chainsaw.
00:02:08.540 Yeah.
00:02:08.940 Right.
00:02:09.440 We had one tonight.
00:02:10.940 The first one we did, no, the second one he did tonight, he did it with a chainsaw.
00:02:14.620 He chopped it into three different pieces with a chainsaw.
00:02:16.620 I got some shots of your mobile sign unit here.
00:02:19.580 we'll call it and you've got a you've got a trailer on the back of this thing so this guy's
00:02:23.680 in an SUV you're hauling a trailer you're trying to chase him right he lost you a couple of times
00:02:28.240 I think tonight but um you're sure this is the same guy absolutely okay you're sure it's the
00:02:33.000 same guy now this is a crime ladies and gentlemen to do this I think there is something psychologically
00:02:38.740 wrong with this person absolutely he he almost ran me over right and almost took out two vehicles
00:02:45.300 trying to escape from us when we cornered.
00:02:48.680 There is something seriously wrong with somebody
00:02:50.380 who's out in the middle of the night
00:02:51.460 chopping down signs for a referendum.
00:02:55.260 And this person has got to be caught
00:02:57.560 and you contacted the police, is that correct?
00:03:00.160 I was on 911 as soon as I realized
00:03:02.000 I was chasing that SUV that we knew was involved.
00:03:06.040 Right, and what did the police say to you?
00:03:07.880 I know, I think this has been reported before, right?
00:03:10.360 Oh yeah, actually the reporting officer that came,
00:03:13.520 the poor guy who was gone the computer he was going through all of my files of all the all
00:03:17.360 the vandalisms that i've filed and he's like this is not good and then he's like i can't even find
00:03:23.180 the one that we're talking about because there's there's uh the file that i've been working with
00:03:27.060 constable on that's got the last 10 signs that were all damaged yeah and that one is the one
00:03:33.360 that is is so damning to this right he's going to so if if we have your license we have the vehicle
00:03:41.180 we've seen the vehicle before in a picture and we've got a license plate of this vehicle are
00:03:46.700 the police going to find this guy and we're going to catch him are we going to prosecute him what
00:03:50.620 do you think that was exactly what he said yes right when we were talking to him he said he's
00:03:56.740 all over the he's like all over our radar right now we've got right cops all over the place
00:04:01.400 looking for him do you have any problem identifying him will you testify that's that's what she said
00:04:08.960 She said 500%, I said 1,000%.
00:04:11.220 So we're definitely testifying.
00:04:13.060 Because I think there was somebody else who saw this person,
00:04:14.940 but they weren't willing to go to court.
00:04:16.320 Exactly.
00:04:16.720 And I understand people don't want to get involved.
00:04:19.820 Now, this person, again, is innocent until proved guilty.
00:04:22.360 So if I'm able to get this dash cam footage that you've got,
00:04:25.060 I will block out maybe even the whole vehicle,
00:04:27.400 but it'll give us an idea of what's going on.
00:04:28.840 What do we expect to see?
00:04:29.720 I haven't even seen it myself.
00:04:31.220 We haven't seen it either.
00:04:32.220 Okay.
00:04:33.100 When we pulled up, it was pretty chaotic.
00:04:36.120 Like, we pulled in when, like, we'll probably have a video of him driving by and yelling at us, right?
00:04:42.460 Because we've got dash cams on both sides and on the front.
00:04:44.740 Good for you. Excellent.
00:04:45.780 Because of this type of stuff.
00:04:47.780 So, we'll have that, plus when we pulled up on him, we'll have that, and then him backing out.
00:04:53.240 Driving away, we'll probably have dash cam footage of him almost hitting two cars.
00:04:57.780 And me.
00:04:58.700 And you.
00:04:59.620 Well, you were in, that was behind the car.
00:05:01.560 Yeah, yeah.
00:05:02.160 So, you know, these signs are all over the city.
00:05:04.880 I mean, it's amazing he's eluded cameras for the most part, but we're right at the end of this referendum campaign, and it seems we may have got him.
00:05:13.680 So if you're watching this, pal, somebody's going to knock on your door.
00:05:16.300 I looked it up.
00:05:17.140 I don't know exactly.
00:05:18.440 I'm not a lawyer, okay, but I looked it up.
00:05:20.980 There could be up to two years in prison for this, and I think a fine, and I think what happens depends on how many times you can prove he's damaged something.
00:05:30.140 So he got at least a couple of times here.
00:05:31.580 Well, he has definitely an M.O.
00:05:32.580 Now, I'm going to take a picture of it in a moment.
00:05:34.720 There is a stay in Canada sign just over this way.
00:05:38.260 It has been vandalized as well, but how has it been vandalized?
00:05:40.480 It's been vandalized by adding to their message.
00:05:42.600 That's right.
00:05:43.200 It's pretty interesting, actually.
00:05:44.660 Yeah, you've been out here pretty much every night doing this, running around,
00:05:48.920 and it's been pretty much every night you've seen these damaged signs, isn't it?
00:05:52.420 It's crazy.
00:05:53.280 It's disheartening, like, when you have a major run, like we've, well, even tonight was,
00:05:57.720 tonight was energizing because we've caught the guy, right, caught him in action.
00:06:01.780 Right.
00:06:01.940 But we're still 12 signs tonight we're attacking to get back on track.
00:06:07.040 And what's so disheartening is their signs are always pristine.
00:06:11.600 Yes, beside it.
00:06:12.440 Right, exactly.
00:06:13.520 Nobody touches them because nobody on our side would ever do such a thing.
00:06:17.600 The sign you're standing in front of right now,
00:06:19.160 it was spray painted before these two pieces of plastic were put over top of the spray painted.
00:06:22.800 Yeah, this is double signed here.
00:06:24.740 Yeah, this side's double, the other side's triple.
00:06:26.620 Yeah, they've been covered over. 0.99
00:06:28.040 And this is an expense, too, to let Alberta decide. 1.00
00:06:30.360 This costs money, and they have to keep replacing these signs. 1.00
00:06:33.460 Well, keep us up to date.
00:06:35.680 I know what happens with this person.
00:06:37.580 I hope they catch him. 0.73
00:06:38.620 I hope they incarcerate him.
00:06:40.220 They put him in jail because this has been a lot of your time,
00:06:44.300 and this is a person who has a lot of money,
00:06:48.460 and this person has got a problem if they're out in the middle of the night
00:06:51.400 running around chopping down.
00:06:52.760 Even in daylight, he's done it.
00:06:54.140 Yes, and in daylight, and I appreciate you spending the time with me,
00:06:58.840 But hopefully we got this guy and we can put him in jail and bring the full way of the law down on him.
00:07:04.860 And the crazy part is, too, even after we confronted him and he sped off.
00:07:09.760 Later on, he went and did it to another sign.
00:07:12.040 We got a report that he was on another sign.
00:07:13.860 Right. He could be doing it right now where we're standing here just before 3 a.m.
00:07:16.960 For sure. Mr. and Mrs. Albertan, thanks again from everybody.
00:07:20.100 We appreciate what you guys have been doing.
00:07:21.920 Thank you.
00:07:22.380 You know, we love you guys for all the hard work you've been putting in.
00:07:25.600 We don't know when you sleep.
00:07:26.920 People say they don't know when I sleep.
00:07:28.420 I don't know when you guys are sleeping.
00:07:30.180 But they're usually going to bed around 4.30 in the morning because we're out all night.
00:07:33.760 So on location, never done this before.
00:07:36.360 But as soon as I heard your message, I wanted to come out here.
00:07:38.760 And we do appreciate what you're doing.
