Those persons living or hav­ing property in the rural areas should take precautions with their equipment, grain storage facilities, etc. as this is becoming more and more of a problem these days. Lock things up because there are persons doing nothing but very-driving around stealing from the rural areas. This is easy for them to do because they can spend quite a bit of time around rural property because the owner either doesn’t live on the prop­erty, or is busy elsewhere. IT'S YOUR PROPERTY, if you don't want to lose it , lock it. Any farmers or ranchers in this area who might be interested in dis­cussing the possibilities of setting up a Range Watch program, feel free to contact any of the members of the Magrath Detachment. Summertime is fast approaching, so remember to take precautions with your property when you are going to be away. Anyone missing bicycles, check with our office and the Town Maintenance Shop, there are several which have been found recently. During the month of April, 1981, we had one break in, three thefts, one wilful- damage, one trespassing reported.
