    My daughter is a carrier with the Oshawa This Week. Today the van dropped off the papers and inserts, and a couple of minutes later a pick-up truck pulled up and blatantly (in broad daylight) scooped up the flyers and drove off. To whoever this was -- shame on you! Seriously if you want extra Smartsource, get off your lazy butt and go for a recycling walk. I hope this thief enjoys the 50+ Smartsource inserts they got.

    Mum's insert was missing too. I wonder if the whole bundle was stolen or just her insert. This is madness.

    We did and they sent out more. All the customers got them. I have a feeling this person was following the delivery van. We probably weren't the only house they did this to.

    I wonder if that's why I didn't get my SmartSource insert. Does your daughter's name start with a C? She might be my delivery girl. Sorry to hear about that...just awful. And I concur...I would be very VERY upset if there were really good coupons in it. Guess whoever drops off the inserts will have to find a better place to drop them. Gosh!

    Cally - If you don't get the insert you should call the Oshawa This Week. They would send one out to you. They are really good about wanting to keep their customers happy. My daughter starts with a "J" so she is not your carrier. I'll be watching for the curb drop this Friday, and get out there quick to grab them. It looks like there is a goldmine of coupons coming! FrugalFreebies - I saw that article. Isn't that crazy!

    i would actually try and wait to see if the truck comes around and take down the plate and hand it over to the paper company as well as the police
