HPD Corner
    It seems that in the last several months, thefts of Iron and Metal have been on the increase. Old vehicles, piles of scrap iron that sat out behind farmer’s sheds, and stock piled wire, are turning up missing. For those of you that have items such as these, you might want to check on them, to see if it’s still there. For those of you that are stock piling these items, you may want to secure it a little better, so that it doesn’t end up on some thief’s truck. If a theft is discovered, please call the HPD at 532-2287.
