If it's yours, tell me who is from.

Caframo Stor-Dry: Free

The Stor-Dry is a low-wattage warm air circulator that runs continuously to protect your boat or RV while in storage. All parts get power, but the fan doesn't want to keep turning, so that needs fixing, therefore it's free.

Rabbits

I have a warning for Thetis Island gardeners as today I found a rabbit in my garden on Forbes Road. If anyone observes rabbits or their activity on their property, please trap them before they overrun our island. I find it impossible to imagine someone releasing their pet rabbits on our island. Go figure!
