City residents should lock vehicles

September 1, 2013
It's not something most Bonners Ferry residents want to hear, but city police are reluctantly encourage residents to lock their vehicles after a spate of brazen break-ins over Labor Day weekend.

The numerous break-ins have been reported at widely separated locations and at varied times, some in the dark of night, some in broad daylight. In some cases, nothing is found to be missing, but glove boxes and compartments are left open and property has obviously been gone through.

In nearly all cases the doors of the vehicles hit were not locked.

In others, thefts were reported, including one in which the only thing missing was a carton of cigarettes.
