  1. this story is totally wrong I am the one who reported it and it was in my friends garage…and by the way it took the cornwall police 2 days to come get it out of the garage…and the RCMP also did nothing when I reported it

  2. Typical Cornwall Police force either donuts went on sale or they were having supper over at one of two fire stations in town.
