Dear Editor:
Re: Vigilant Neighbours Catch Illegal Dumpers, March 22 front-page story.
I was angry, appalled and left speechless when I saw what some illegal dumpers had left on a busy North Vancouver trail and right next to homes. “What were they thinking?” Obviously not enough. The fine implemented on them, not enough. Maybe $5,000, five days in jail and a five-year ban in the disposal business, might be enough. It might set some precedence and deter others in the future. I would like to thank deeply those involved in taking pictures of the culprits and leading the RCMP to catch them.
Thank you for being vigilant and I hope others would follow suit in this electronic age of the camera and the phone.
