photo of the bank book from vancouver
when i moved from vancouver to toronto in 1990 i had a bag stolen. it contained a vancouver bank of montreal account book. around seventeen years later, in 2007 or 2008, i returned to my boarding house room and was looking through a rubbermaid box i kept documents in, something i had done often enough in the previous months to know what was in the box. to my surprise and wonder there was the bank book that was taken with the bag in 1990. all the transaction receipts from 1989 to 1990 but none of the other items from the bag. csis, or one of canada's five eyes surveillance partners, or kgb-fsb or mossad? maybe organized crime?
how this could be used in a fiction.
in 1990 a person has a bag stolen with identification papers and a bank of montreal account book with no money left in it.
fifteen years later while looking through a box he recently put all his documents in he is surprised to find the bank book in with the other documents. it is in good shape and none of the receipts have been removed.
attached to the bank book is a letter that after he reads it seems to have been left behind by mistake. the letter explains what happened. the bag was stolen by a csis asset and was used for something to do with defrauding money out of people.
having gotten the use intended out of the bank book they decide to return it to make it look like the person had it all along and would have the evidence on him to incriminate him for the things they used it for.
to return it they enlist the landlords help by making up a story of needing to do an unwarranted search of the tenants room for evidence. while in the room they secretly replace the bank book while pretending to look for the other evidence. they forget the attached letter with their mission instructions behind.
