Really?!?

This is the sign out in front of the BC Hockey Hall of Fame that resides in the South Okanagan Events Center in Penticton, British Columbia. I have to admit that it looks very impressive, so I'm giving an unsolicited nod to the Wildstone Construction Group on their craftsmanship. However, there's a bigger issue at hand than the skilled work of one Penticton company as the point of this article deals with the BC Hockey Hall of Fame, so let's get to why I'm talking about it.

Without a doubt, the various institutions across Canada that hold hockey's historical pieces are treasure troves of information and merchandise. Collectors often marvel at what the value of these collections might be, but the correct answer is "priceless" in almost every case. In saying that, what happened at the BC Hockey Hall of Fame on August 14 is rather astounding.

According to Crime Stoppers of the South Okanagan and Similkameen area, a man walked into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame and helped himself to two Vancouver Canucks jerseys - namely, a Daniel Sedin autographed jersey and a Henrik Sedin autographed jersey. Here's our suspect heading out of the BC Hockey Hall of Fame with his new jerseys tucked neatly under his arm, courtesy of closed-circuit video in the area obtained by Crime Stoppers of the South Okanagan and Similkameen and shared with VancouverIsAwesome.com.

For a better look of this upstanding citizen, here's the front view.

Seriously, I hope that this guy is found, identified, brought to justice, and shamed for stealing two jerseys from a Hall of Fame. This is a new kind of lowlife move from a person, and his punishment should be severe for taking something that belongs to everyone in British Columbia. Here's hoping the police round him up quickly before he sells those priceless jerseys in a desperate, despicable act for a quick buck too.

If you recognize this dude or think you do, he left the area "in a 1995-2001 green Ford Explorer" with the two jerseys. Make sure you call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 so this jackass gets what he rightly deserves when it comes to justice.

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
