• An individual reported his backpack containing about $1,000 worth of fishing gear including expensive reels vanished from the riverbank at the 100 block of Osprey Lane outside Toledo when he turned his back on a young man who’d struck up a conversation with him. The 65-year-old man from Lynnwood reported yesterday that it happened on Friday while he was at the Cowlitz Trout Hatchery, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
