Holiday theft

[NOV. 29, 2000]  Over the holiday weekend, a house on Westminster Drive was broken into. Approximately 20 jewelry items, over $300 in cash and a laptop computer were stolen while the owners were away. There are no suspects yet.

The Lincoln Police Department has some suggestions for residents and business owners during the holiday season. If you will be away visiting family and friends for a while, let your neighbors know so that they can keep an eye on your house for you. Never leave gifts and valuables in open view — whether in your house or car. This is an advertisement to thieves. Use light timers because they give the appearance of occupancy. Any other timers, such as for the television or radio, add to the effect. One of the most important things to remember in the holiday rush is to "take a little extra time" and lock things up.

The main thing LPD suggests business owners do to reduce theft is to greet customers at the door. Someone intent on stealing might reconsider if he believes that the store clerk can identify him later. Again, keep things locked. Jewelry dealers in particular should have only one item out at a time.
