  • Police offer property list to help track stolen items

    The best defense against breaking and entering is a locked door.

    But with larcenies from locked and unlocked homes continually reported, the Holden Beach Police Department has a backup plan.

    The department will provide residents with a property registration form to list any items a thief might target.

    It’s a proactive measure to improve chances of recovering stolen items.

    The department started providing property registration forms about 18 months ago, Sgt. Frank Dilworth said.
