Two members of North Shore Rescue spent a chilly night near Lynn Lake with a lost hiker.

Two friends of Liang Jin, a Vancouver man missing since Near Year's Eve, went into the Hanes Valley today to look for him today, but had to be rescued by North Shore Rescue themselves.

Members of the North Shore Rescue were stunned to find one of their remote emergency caches stocked with lifesaving supplies and equipment to help in the event of a rescue was broken into, vandalized and items stolen.
