BREAKING NEWS!


BREAKING NEWS!

A vandal wreaked havoc at the job site, in Cornwall, Ontario on Friday, March 29th, 2012. Shortly after the pump truck drove off, leaving the fresh cement nestled in its forms to harden in peace, a cloaked figure pulled up in his ’73 Eldorado ready for an afternoon of debauchery. (Okay… it might have been a skateboard.) The trespasser scrawled what is assumed to be some top-secret gangster lingo (or his name…) on the surface of the foundation, “Alex Lalond,” stopping only once to use the rental port-a-potty. Like all too many, this tragic tale has an ironic twist:

“I asked (my partner) Alex (Powell) to write our names in the foundation after they finished up for the day,” said a shaken Leclerc, “thanks to the neighbourhood ruffian, at least one of our names will be engraved in the groundwork of the house for eternity!”

Powell was actually a prime suspect in the case on the basis of sloppy handwriting and well, being named Alex, but has since been dismissed. Authorities are still unsure if Alex Lalond had an accomplice, or if he worked alone.

Chester Leclerc Ltd. was unavailable to comment at the time, but it is expected that the project will proceed as planned on Monday and that Powell will be promoted from “hey you, pass me that” to “look out” guy.
