The team consisted of (from left) Michael Joseph of Acton, Georgetown's Cam Johnstone, Tom Steller of Terra Cotta and Ottawa's Chris Beveridge.

Susy Joseph/Photo An Acton resident has filed a report with Halton Regional Police Service after she discovered her vehicle was vandalized and tagged in an overnight incident earlier this week. Nadine Barrett runs a home daycare at- Danville Avenue and Matthew Court and was welcoming children inside on the morning of June 12, when a parent notified her that her car had been vandalized. The vehicle had been spray-painted in black and gold and tagged with what ap- peared to be the initials "T.K." Barrett says while she has seen vandal- ism in the area before, she has not been personally targeted in the past, and is un- familiar with the tag left on her vehicle. She notified police and later took to Facebook to warn residents about what had happened. Halton police arrived to the residence shortly after 8 a.m. Officers were able to at- tain video footage which shows two male suspects: one possibly wearing a dark hoo- die and pants and the other wearing cam- ouflage shorts, dark shoes and possibly wearing a hat and a hoodie. Barrett has since had the spray-paint removed. The investigation is pending receipt of further suspect information. Halton re- gional police ask local residents to check their cameras. Anyone with further infor- mation is asked to contact Halton regional police at 905-878-5511.

If you have bought a property and the agreement of purchase and sale is firm (ie: not awaiting the fulfillment or waiving of any conditions), then a vendor who wishes to back out of the deal would be doing so at substantial risk. As a purchaser, you would have the right to sue for specific performance and damages. Specific performance means performance of the contract. In this instance, it would be the transfer of the property for the agreed upon amount. Obtaining an order for specific performance depends on the type of property being bought. If you can make a case that the specific features of the property are particularly attractive to you and that monetary damages could not adequately compensate you for the loss of the property, then you would have a good case. In addition, you could register a certificate of pending litigation against the property to ensure that the vendor does not sell to anyone else in the meantime.
