In Australia when a car is pulled over by the police for being unroadworthy a defect notice is given and a large yellow sign (canary) is stuck to the front windscreen.

Being given a defect notice is thus referred to as 'being canaried'.
I got canaried on the way home because my car is a mobile disaster area. The cop was a total babe though so it wasn't all bad.

Canaries 

The homosexual pioneers who move into an undesirable area, carve out a home for themselves, and transform it into an up-and-coming neighborhood, or "gayborhood."

Like canaries in a mine, if they survive, others can stay and thrive, as well.
The rapid influx of canaries served as the saving grace for a neighborhood that was otherwise doomed to a future void of bright colors and Chardonnay.
