The replies after the story are quite good.
As they in real estate: "location, location, location." I guess Lotus had the wrong, indiscrete location.

 

[I am Poppy: TTC #2]

the previous owners of this parlour were charged criminally also.
do not be surprised if the next tenants are as well

 

[SourSkittles:)]

I've passed by this place a few times. Never went in.. seemed kinda sketchy. I'm glad I avoided..

 

[?r??nn? :D]

Interesting comment about strip malls. Good argument for a red light district(s)

 

[I heart you]

Police busting a rub'n'tug...

Meanwhile my car got stolen never to be found, and the cops didn't even bother showing up to take a review

WOW! what a fucking waste of my tax dollars...

Went inside to check out some of the girls 2 weeks ago....actually this place is in a bad location just underneath a residential apt building and all the colourful signs of the spa did not help keeping it a low profile....another factor could have been the visitors parking of the building being used by customers....anyhow just bad location....

 

[U.F.R.]

I also seem to recall this place running very descriptive ads promising more than a rub & tug...
I'd be willing to bet stuff like that helps get police motivated

Am I the only one find that uniformed cop look like our very own Sheik?

What would you have told the cops about your car that you couldn't have mailed in? Unlike the car the thieves drove away using the gas you so generously provided, bawdyhouses stay put, causing problems for everyone living nearby. From the cops' point of view, they kinda beg to be shut down, just like your car kinda begged to be stolen and cut up for pieces or sold on with a nudge and q wink. If you want enough cops hired to come to the door of every car-owner, you'd better start writing Rob Ford about raising taxes even higher. Like the TTC, they're on 'do what we can with what we've got' mode. Coming to your door to give you personal review service would truly be a waste of our tax dollars.

If I missed a point about rub'n'tugs should be legal, it's because that too would take a campaign aimed at Vic Toews and our Harper Government. Because they make and unmake the criminal law.

Not the cops.

Their ads weren't any different or worse than those of any other rub & tug.

Residents say they complained and in this case, police responded to the complaints. The incalls in the buildings across the street were likewise busted last year after residents complained.

Gimme a break!! Cops are a bunch of lazy fucks and I agree they should come out and fill a review for a stolen car!! They play the "you have insurance" card so they don't give a shit.

The concepts of proportionality and social policy are lost on some.

 

[Erma B]

stolen cars just don't make the news.

 

[eir]

They would if you invited the media over to watch them steal it or get arrested like they did at this MP.

 

[Aneel]

walk in my shoes then talk.

 

[taryn]

The previous ads basically said FS was available
Yes the current ads are much tamer but the damage was already done

The fact you posted this on the 18th when all week they have been talking about one of the biggest busts in Canadian history implies you really don't watch the news much do you?

[Mick Jaguar]

what would happen if you were in there receiving service while the bust went down?

I just passed this spa a couple of weeks ago and was thinking who would open up a massage place at the bottom of a residential building? I thought to myself it would only be a matter of time before they got busted so I am not surprised. I would never go into a place like that as it is too public and high risk of being busted. Busts happen when there are complaints from the public and having a massage place in a location like this is just begging to be busted.

I really don't understand how the owner could open up a massage place here...dumb move.
