A few reminders before the first bell rings:

- When a school bus extends its stop sign, traffic must stop. Do not pass a stopped bus no matter your direction of travel.

Give yourself a few extra minutes in the morning, put the phone down, and keep an eye out for our youngest residents.

Have a safe and successful school year, Junction City.

Two people are in custody today in connection with a recent string of motor vehicle thefts here in Junction City.

Here is what every one of those cases had in common: the vehicle was left unlocked with the keys inside.

These weren't break-ins. No windows were broken and nothing was hot-wired. In cases like these, someone walks down a street pulling on door handles until one opens, and if the keys are sitting right there, the vehicle is gone in under a minute.

A few best practices to keep your vehicle from becoming an easy target:

– Lock your doors every single time, even in your own driveway
– Take your keys and fob with you, always
– Don't leave your vehicle running unattended to warm up or cool down
– Keep valuables out of sight, or better yet, take them inside

If you see someone walking through your neighborhood checking door handles or looking into parked vehicles, give us a call at (785) 762-5912. We would much rather respond to something that turns out to be nothing.

Thank you to the citizens who called in information on these thefts. It helped.
