 LARCENY FROM VEHICLES

A larceny is simply a term used to say that someone stole something.  It is theft.  The Wichita Police Department has seen an increase all over the city in larcenies from vehicles.  Items commonly stolen from a car include:  Purses, wallets, cell phones, cell phone chargers, laptops, insurance paperwork, tools, garage door openers, and the coins from an ashtray.  These items should not be left inside a vehicle.  Criminals are having the time of their lives stealing from Wichitans this year.  Citizens must take ANYTHING of value out of their cars each night.  Please be mindful at all times but especially as we approach the Holiday season.  Don't be a victim of this easily preventable crime.

PORTABLE BASKETBALL GOALS
Basketball is fun and a great source for exercise. However, the very popular portable basketball goals are being set up in neighborhoods adjacent to traffic ways causing a wide range of problems. First there is the safety aspect. Playing in the street is a dangerous practice and should be avoided altogether. Second, theses goals can become a nuisance problem for neighborhoods. Players not moving out of the way for vehicles in the roadway, loud players as well as loud music late at night, as well as blight issues can all hurt the morale and image for the neighborhood. For violations of basketball goals, please read the following:
1. Contact ANY city of Wichita employee and report the violation as well as the address to them.
2. The city employee will call or email Engineering Division's Linda Firsching at 268-4418, or
lfirsching@wichita.gov with the address of the violation.
3. Linda Firsching will log the complaint in a database and assigned to a sidewalk inspector who will verify the violation with a photograph.
4. Notifications will be provided to the residence and compliance checks will begin.
5. Continued violations will be subjected to fines and possibly removal of the goal by city employees.

If you are a parent responsible for one of these goals, please be responsible and assure that the basketball goal is not contributing to a dangerous environment or contributing to a nuisance problem. If you are a citizen that wants to report problems arising from a portable basketball goal, follow the steps above.

GRAFFITI
Citizens can now email graffiti complaints to:
KEEPWICHITACLEAN@WICHITA.COM
They will need the provide the following:
Address and Location of the Graffiti
