When a routine car break-in turned into a personal investigation, one victim's persistence led to a shocking discovery—an active fencing operation authorities were already aware of. The incident sheds light on deeper concerns surrounding stolen property networks, law enforcement response, and community safety.
After discovering their car broken into and valuable items stolen, the victim refused to accept the loss as inevitable. Utilizing GPS tracking, social media clues, and help from neighbours, they traced the stolen items to a known location—uncovering an illicit resale operation often referred to as a “fencing ring.”
To their surprise, upon contacting the authorities, the victim was told that the site in question had already been flagged as part of an ongoing investigation. Yet, the operation remained active, and stolen goods—including theirs—were visibly present.
This revelation has ignited frustration among local residents; many of whom feel law enforcement isn’t acting fast enough. The situation has sparked conversations about:
• Public transparency regarding known criminal sites
• The effectiveness of ongoing investigations
• Victims being forced to self-investigate thefts
• How secure our communities really are
It’s important to clarify: Countrywide Rental is not involved in any criminal activity. The term “fencing” in crime refers to the resale of stolen goods—completely unrelated to legitimate temporary fencing rental services like those we offer.
In fact, Countrywide Fence Rental is often part of the solution, helping secure construction sites, event grounds, and even vacant properties to prevent break-ins and trespassing.
This situation highlights the need for better collaboration between communities, businesses, and law enforcement to prevent criminal activity. At Countrywide Rental, we remain committed to public safety by:
• Providing durable fencing solutions for vulnerable locations
• Supporting local events with controlled, secure environments
• Offering rentals that prioritize privacy, crowd control, and theft deterrence
