An alert resident of a Downtown Eastside hotel has helped Vancouver police recover some of the wigs that were stolen from a store last week. The witness spotted a bag of wigs in the hotel's hallway, and called police at around 10 p.m. PT on Thursday, according to a news release. "The person who located the bag of wigs immediately linked them to the media coverage about the theft and called 911," Const. At least 150 wigs were taken during a break-in at Eva and Company Wigs at 950 West Broadway in the early morning hours of Sept. 7. Anyone with information about the stolen wigs is asked to call the VPD's property crime investigators at 604-717-0610 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
