HAVE YOU COPIED down the brand name, model and serial numbers of important electronic items, tools, bikes etc. and kept them in a safe place? Bellingham Police in their March 2010 Block Watcher states that hundreds of items go unclaimed and are destroyed by the Bellingham Police Department each year because property was found but people were unable to provide police with brands, models and serial numbers of their stolen items to match up with items recovered. (Some people engrave initials or markings on their property so it is identifiable as theirs.)
Copying down this information tor identifying your items helps in two ways:

- It increases your chances of recovering some of your stolen items
- Police may be able to charge the people with the found items with “Possession of Stolen Property.”
BEING A GOOD WITNESS!
When witnesses to a crime call 911 for police assistance, one of the most common descriptions is “male, unknown race, wearing jeans and a hoodie.” …and how many in Bellingham match that identity? Yes, a good portion of Bellingham. If this is the only description you can get, that’s OK, but there are other things it would be helpful to note as listed below:
- Race
- Hair length and color
- Height, body type (small, average, heavy) facial hair
- Piercings, tattoos
- Shoes, logos and/or brand names printed on the clothing
- Smells on the person are helpful such as tobacco or alcohol. If you hear them speak, anything unusual such as accent, slurred speech due to alcohol consumption etc.
- Direction of travel and mode of transportation (i.e. on foot, bikes, car, etc.)*
