Vancouver's civic officials are in a bit of damage control after thieves strike a group of film makers. A US film crew were putting together a segment of their world's most beautiful cities feature, when they broke for lunch locked up their gear in the van and went in to eat.
When they returned to the van, it had been cleaned out, leaving them with a whole new impression of the city. We suspect that they'll be adding a few discouraging words to the finished product now!

VANCOUVER (CP) - A U.S. film crew shooting a documentary about the world's 'most beautiful cities' may have gotten the wrong picture of Vancouver.
All of their camera equipment and other items were stolen from a rental van while the Boston filmmakers were taking a coffee break on Wednesday.
Vancouver police said Thursday the video camera was valued at $50,000.
The thieves also took another camera, a cellphone, some headphones and all of the crew's videotaped footage.
Const. Howard Chow says the robbery has the potential to hurt the image of the city.
"Ironically they were filming Vancouver as being one of the top places in the world to live and visit," he said.
