City cops are on the lookout for an escort in a welding truck.

The hunt comes after a theft from a hotel near the City Centre Airport early yesterday.

Police got a call at 2:10 a.m. from a man who reported his Ford F-350 had been stolen from the parking lot of a Best Western near Princess Elizabeth Avenue and 109 Street.

"A guy showed up off the oil rigs, went to a hotel, called a familiar escort that he always hung around with, and unfortunately things went sideways after that," said Insp. Ken MacKay.

The F-350 had been converted to a welding truck. As of last night, the truck was still missing.

No further details were available on the identity of the suspect.

The john "ended up losing his truck and some money and a bunch of other stuff," said MacKay.

Kate Quinn, head of the Prostitution Action and Awareness Foundation of Edmonton, said johns should be aware they can be victimized too.

"They can become victims of extortion. They can become victims of assault. And we do warn them about that (in john school)."

She said it's not uncommon that johns become victims of the "badger game."

"A woman lures the man in and there's a couple of guys waiting with crowbars and they beat him up, and they get his debit card and force his PIN number out of him."

There was no word on whether the victim of yesterday's truck theft was assaulted.

Quinn said not many victims come forward to police because of fear and shame over how they've gotten themselves into the situation. She said yesterday's incident should be a lesson to johns.

"You're not in the driver's seat. You too could become a victim of violence, and extortion and diseases.

"What the men have to realize is they're not a person (to prostitutes and pimps.) They're just
money."

Yeah. Once again the Edmonton newspapers immediately go to that "expert" Kate Quinn so she can tell us the escort business and all of its customers are evil.

Of course if we had legal brothels like Australia, New Zealand, Germany, etc, most of the scammers and crooks would be driven out of the business by legitimate competition.

Then why in the fuck did you publish the story??? If the Edmonton Sun (which I wouldn't let my dog shit on) had even an iota of journalistic integrity they'd have included the chicks description or maybe even her name. Isn't knowing who the escorts are part of the city's licensing policy?

HMPHF.....Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate.......when will you learn that your yap is better used to suck the wiener then to preach. Just goes to show that all ho's don't get graceful with age.

Lions and tigers and bears oh my!!!!!! :eek:

Again, STFU you hypocritical bitch. I find it beyond ironic that a woman who's seen more cock then Harvey Fierstein get on her soap box about the evils of prostitution.

thank christ they didn't start quoting perb again at least.
Give it time.....those cock gobblers will eventually make their rounds back to PERB for a good sound bite. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't mind so much if they actually used the quotes from PERB in context, but like most media outlets its alllllllll about the spin.

A letter to the editor printed in today's Edmonton Sun:

RE: "A hooker by any other name ..." by Mike Jenkinson, Aug. 28. Who cares what people call them. They contribute absolutely nothing to society. In fact, they are a major burden on society. Most of them probably collect welfare and then go hooking at night making extra tax-free income just to blow it on drugs. Why any woman would want to turn tricks with a job market like this disgusts me. They have no respect for themselves or anyone else's life they may be directly or indirectly ruining through supporting the drug trade, spreading STDs, and abusing our social support systems. If you can hook, you can also work.

R. Atkins is silent on what he/she does that is such a magnificent contribution to society that he has the right to shit on others.
