Bear Island break-ins

Below is the text of an e-mail sent by Clint to the BICA Board and then forwarded to most Bear Island Conservation Assoc. members. Since I do not have everyone's e-mail address, one member suggested I post it here as well. Maybe someone will see something or knows something?! Very sad.

Hi and FYI,

This appears to have been a banner year for break-ins on Bear Island. There has been quite a bit of activity opposite the Cattle Landing. In addition,
over this past weekend (March 22-23) it is my understanding from Island Services and the Meredith Police that break-ins have occurred at the following
camps:

Cail (Anne) 39
Smith 41
Chen 44
Dougan 45 All doors bashed in, kitchen cabinets / closets opened, debris on floor. Appeared to be looking for alcohol, cash, guns and
anything else small and valuable.

Bachovchin 47
Ylvisaker 51
Wilson 52
Wieneke 53
Collins 56

I was at my camp on Thursday (3/27) with the police and Island Services. The ice appears to be safe (20" to 26" according to Island Services) in
case you want to check out your property. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious. These guys appear to be traveling by snowmobile or ATV.
Sorry about the bad news but wanted to alert everyone to the problem. Hopefully this will be the end of it.
