Heirloom garbage can recovered
Family heirlooms can come in different shapes and sizes. Maybe it’s grandma’s brooch or a piece of antique furniture.
But a garbage can? Apparently so.

It had been passed down through his family.
Police say Cpl. Steve McKeddie found the “uniquely sentimental item” at a nearby residential complex, where it’s believed someone took it by mistake.
McKeddie returned the garbage can to the man who was very grateful.
Sgt. Mike Wicentowich acknowledged McKeddie for his “efforts and compassion when recovering this treasured item.”
