The Livingston County Sheriff's Department has seen an increase in thefts over the last month and want to encourage folks to be more vigilant and report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods. The Sheriffs Department says it's always a good idea to lock the doors on your home, garage and vehicles on your property.

In addition to they want to remind everyone that it only takes a few minutes to write down the make, model and serial number of property that you own. Many times property may be recovered years later and an arrest may be made if the item is positively identified as an item that was stolen in the past.  

A serial number is the most certain way for investigators to identify this type of item. Other than securing your items, recording a make, model and serial number is the most effective thing an individual can do to assist in the recovery of stolen items.

Unfortunately, most people do not take the time to do this and criminals realize it.
