Happy birthday ND! Too bad we couldn't convoy to Moab together this year; perhaps sometime in the future our schedules will line up. Sorry about the bad experiences today, not all cops are total jerks though -- I'd call into the station and give them some professional "feedback" on your experience, and request your property back...but then again, I don't live in Canada, and I am unfamiliar with your laws there.

...but if it makes you feel any better: I hit one of my cars with my other car on my 18th birthday. A bad situation can always be a little worse, lol.
