The number of reported thefts to the Maize Police Department
decreased by 25% in 2011 from those reported in 2010. Many
of the thefts that were reported were from automobiles.
Unfortunately most of these thefts could have been prevented had
the owners locked their car doors. Most thefts from
vehicles in Maize occur during the night time hours and are
committed by "opportunist". Individuals will walk
neighborhoods late at night checking car doors. When they
find an unlocked car, they will rummage through the car looking
for valuables and other items to take. Other thefts occur
when people leave their purses or other valuables in plain site
in their vehicle. REMEMBER: ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR
DOORS AND HIDE ANY VALUABLES LEFT IN THE CAR. Help us
reduce the number of thefts from autos in 2012.
