I can relate, spent lots of time in northern BC communities. I lived in Fraser Lake which has ~1500 people, really secure leave keys in the truck kind of town for the most part. One morning my roommate's car and buddy's truck were gone, turns out a pack of teenage natives had gone on a rampage, stolen 7 trucks off the Ford lot in Burns Lake and travelled east, stealing and vandalizing vehicles on their way through Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof and on to Prince George. Great fun for them I guess, doubt any were prosecuted.
