By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Helen Mason has been camping in Ontario provincial parks for almost four decades but has never had something like this happen: While visiting a friend away from the campsite, someone showed up and stole all of her belongings — from her tent and grill to the food she'd packed for her trip.
Mason arrived at the Pinery the night of April 29, set up her tents and built herself a nice campfire. That Sunday, an old friend called and asked her to visit .Mason returned the next day to find almost everything gone.
"I thought my tent had blown away, because you could really see my bright red tent when you're driving into the campsite and I couldn't see it. Then I got closer and got out of my car, and I slowly realized that absolutely everything I had brought camping had disappeared, from my tent to my clothes, my kitchen tent and all the belongings in them."
Mason reported the theft to the park warden, who said he had never heard of an entire campsite being taken before.
