Tough Times in Wells County

Scanning the police news you may have noticed a slight uptick in the
number of break-ins and thefts around Wells County. While there
certainly is no rampant crime spree happening countywide it does seem
prudent to take certain precautions in protecting yourself, your family
and your home.
Wells County is not the only county in Indiana with
this problem, and Indiana is certainly not the only state. Rural
California farmers have been dealing with similar issues for years now
forcing some to go to great lengths to protect what is theirs.

Of course for some the solution is as simple as learning to lock your
doors; installing locks on barns and out-buildings and using those too.
Outdoor lights can be a deterrent, as can a barking dog.

Because the best offense against crime is a good defense.
