Do you have $63.80 you can toss into a garbage disposal and flip the switch on for every member that’s in your household?That’s $255.44 for a family of four.As Manteca residents we lose that much per typical household each year to thieves.The value of stolen goods among all of the incidents reported to Manteca Police in 2015 came to $4,769,500. Some 42.9 percent of that was recovered but that doesn’t mean it made its way back to its rightful owner since much property stolen doesn’t have identifying marks.Even if we don’t suffer a loss, we may unwittingly be making it profitable for thieves to prey on our neighbors. Stolen goods ultimately need to be converted into cash.
If it looks like a steal it probably is
