I was amused when a UBC PhD student asked for public help. She was studying field mice and when she looked for her traps, they were all empty and in a pile.

In the 35 years I have lived in Pitt Meadows, we have had coyotes in and about the community. One cornered our cat under a vehicle in the driveway in broad daylight. I used to keep an eye on a long-used den but it has been buried by top loading, as both residential and industrial redevelopment of the low-lying agricultural land (formerly dairy and hay) continues.
