Important Summer Security Tip

Do you have a lawnmower or yard tools that you keep in a shed? We have been advised that you can help our Union Station officers better track the theft of such items if you will take a simple protective step.

Place an inexpensive glass vase or some other glass object on top of your lawnmower or beside your weed-eater. The thief will have to move the glass object to take your lawnmower, etc., and hopefully fingerprints will be left that can be lifted should the item be stolen.

We certainly hope that you will not need to be tracking fingerprints this summer, but it is a helpful suggestion. Remember that you need to report any theft to the Memphis Police Department. Our Union Station officers work diligently to recover these items. Your information often will help establish a pattern that speeds the recovery process.
