Regina rallies around Riders' QB after truck break-in
'Have a great Thanksgiving with your new gifts': Fajardo
A Thanksgiving weekend truck break-in left a Saskatchewan Roughrider sans sunglasses and some change.
Cody Fajardo posted on Twitter on Sunday that his truck being rummaged through "isn't the best of feelings."
"To whoever snaked my sunglasses, truck change and Fajardo toy Funko. You obviously needed it more than me. Have a great Thanksgiving with your new gifts," Fajardo wrote.
The community responded online with many people expressing their condolences and sharing their own stories of vehicles being broken into.
"Sorry to hear about the sunglasses. I'm the owner of The Optical Shoppe in the Cornwall Centre, we'll hook you up with some new sunnies," Lisa McIntyre wrote on Twitter.
Waking up to your truck being rummaged through isn’t the best of feelings. To whoever snaked my sunglasses, car change and Fajardo toy Funko. You obviously needed it more than me. Have a great Thanksgiving with your new gifts. Haha
