Last week 250 Wintario tickets and Provincial Lottery tickets were stolen from a local store. The Wintario tickets are .for the October 18 draw and the Provincial tickets are for the draw on October 19. We are `enlisting the aid of anyone who may be approached on the street, at school, work or in a bar by persons attempting to sell these tickets. This week's statistical data concerns thefts where the value is in excess of $200 (motor vehicles are not included as they are dealt with separately) : 1974 - 5, 1975 - 16, 1976 - 20, 1977 - 21, 1978 20, 1979 - 30, 1980 - 28,1981- 42, 1982 - 71, 1983 - 56 and 1984 (to 30 Sept.) - 33 for a total of 342 and average of 31 cases solved )cleared total 82 or 23.98 percent. Inflation shows up here as articles that were stolen increased dramatically in value the past few years. Thefts from motor vehicles accounted for 60 percent of this type of theft and in over 80 percent of the cases, the vehicles had been left unlocked. Stereo, tape deck and tapes were the main items stolen from vehicles. REMEMBER: KEEP YOUR VEHICLE LOCKED. MARK YOUR VALUABLES — even your cassette tapes. In this way, they can be readily identified and returned to you if they are recovered or seized from someone else.
