QM1to6Ave Posted February 25, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 25, 2013 Hmm, I wonder if this is a particularly stressful time of the year for some people or what. Maybe pre-tax day or something?

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 26, 2013 Share #9 Posted February 26, 2013 Seems to frequent to me even if they do happen this frequently... Comes as no surprise though.... City is becoming more and more expensive and folks can't find jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
