The front page of one of the weekly newspapers has a picture of a girl on a horse, and a story about a teen peeing on a car in the mall parking lot in the middle of the night. It's a big deal cause the kid posted a video of it on the internet. Time moves slow here, real slow.

What was thought to be a harmless prank has an online car enthusiasts community in an uproar after a video surfaced of a Niagara-on-the-Lake teenager urinating on a car. On July 8, a video of a young man relieving himself on a Ferrari at the Pen Centre parking lot furfaced on the popular video sharing site, YouTube. The video was posted online and on Ferrari websites such as www.ferrarichat.com, where Ferrari owners enthusiasts and the public posted angry comments and threatened the male. Const. Jacquie Forgeron, media relations officer for Niagara Regional Police, said she was made aware of the video by a member of the media. Forgeron said soon afer the video was posted, so was personal information about those involved in the video, taken from the popular social networking site, Facebook. "The angry comments still continue as of now because the video has gotten so much attention," Forgeron said. "From what we know, the owner of the Ferrari lost his keys inside the Pen Centre and asked mall security to watch the car. Security taped off the car in the parking lot. That's when the teenagers filmed the video." Forgeron said members of the NRP Street Crime Unit contacted the youth involved in the incient, who willingly turned himself in. Charged under the St. Catharines nuisance bylaw for public urination is Josh Gifford, 19, of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Gifford was fined $365. "He accepted the fine and appeared remorseful," Forgeron said. Forgeron said police are continuing to moniter online comments. If threatening comments are made to Gifford, police will intervene.
