Attention members and friends of VFS Warning from one of our own members: I am a longstanding student of the Victoria Conservatory of Music who currently attends a Wednesday evening fiddle class. I’m concerned about safety in the area near the Conservatory and so are many other students. Enrolment may be jeopardized as a result of the traumatic experience I had a few days ago. On Wednesday Nov. 5th around mid-day, in a parking lot less than a block from the Conservatory, the two passenger-side windows on our truck were smashed. Luckily, nothing was stolen. It seems the vandal only rifled through the glove compartment and that was it. In addition to $50 cash and a pile of CDs/groceries stored in the extended cab was a precious heirloom – my violin that was made by my husband’s great-grandfather. None of this stuff was taken. The person was probably scared off in this highly visible location in an area that has become one of the main locations for drug-dependent street folks. I reported this incident to the police and waited two hours while the windows were replaced. The experience was upsetting, time-consuming and expensive. One of the most unsettling things was shock and relief that my precious fiddle (which was under wraps) had not been stolen. I announced this incident to the leader of our fiddle group (Miriam Sonstenes) and fellow students as a warning for all VCM students to be vigilant about their vehicles and violins. As a result of my experience, a fiddler in my group e-mailed me the following message: “It just strengthens my resolve that I am not going to register for the spring session. I am nervous in that area at night – especially when there is no parking in the immediate area at all, and we have to park several blocks away and walk – in some cases alone, in the dark. It was really fortunate that your fiddle was not stolen. “T” still has not heard anything about hers. “J” says it’s like having your baby stolen. Everybody keeps saying this can happen anywhere – but at least in my mind, there is a larger chance of problems in that area.” I contacted the Conservatory to let them know what happened, along with the following suggestions:
Be careful!
