Q: Story Tools: E-MAIL | PRINT | Text Size: S M L XL | REPORT TYPO | SEND YOUR FEEDBACK Vancouver crowned break-in capital of North America Last Updated: Friday, December 14, 2007 | 2:49 PM ET CBC News A new report has given Vancouver a dubious honour: the highest break-in rate of all major Canadian and American cities, nearly four times that of New York City. Last year, Vancouver recorded more than 1,100 break-ins per 100,000 residents while New York City had just over 300. The numbers are contained in the annual report by the B.C. Progress Board, which showed Vancouver had the second-highest combined violent and property crime rate among all major cities in Canada and the United States. The annual report, which tracks a wide range of statistics on everything from exports to cancer rates to crime, and then ranks the province and Vancouver against other provinces, states and cities, has since 2001 become known for delivering good news and bad news. is everyone really aware how bad vancouver bc canada really is?

A: Given how much bigger the Summer Olympics is in hype and world wide propaganda, and the fiasco China has with them killing and suppressing the Tibetans, I don't think a few Vancouverites being broken into is going to be noticed for awhile. And even if during the Olympics people broke into houses, it wont be noticed. There would have to be an huge increase in hotel theft, that several other tourist locations are famous for, to have any impact.
