TEN-The Heppner Gaiette-Times. Heppner, Oregon. Thursday. July 2, 19K1 Gale Street well named? .'- ,1A m ,. -ww.- t r ' ui - Jim Launer (L) and J.J. Shaw eye a tree that blew over Tuesday afternoon during a wind storm. The tree formerly stood in the Launer's yard at 465 Gale Street in Heppner. A large branch was also blown down from a Farmers fight crime Out in the country, you don't have to worry so much about crime, right? Wrong. Last year, more than $324,000 in machinery alone was taken from OreRon farmers, according to the state Law Enforcement Data System. In addition, gasoline and tools are stolen every day. And thousands of dollars in damage is done by vandals who drive across newly plant ed fields, or shoot at machin ery. A farm's isolation is part of what makes it attractive to thieves and vandals, says Oregon State Police Cpl. Roger Morris of Pendleton. A large number of thefts can be traced to teenagers who siphon gasoline from isolated outbuilding areas, he says. They may see tools laying aroung loose and take them, too. almost as an afterthought. For that reason, simply keeping tools in a locked box or building will discourage many thefts, says Morris. Ttie more "professional" theives - those looking for something to sell, who are willing to break into a locked building - can be discouraged by engraving or stamping property with the owner's driver's license number. The identification makes it harder for theives to sell the stolen property and makes it easier for police to find the owner. Finally, says Morris, it helps to be neighborly. "Pro fessional" thieves will prowl an area two or three days before a "job". An alert neighbor can keep an eye out for suspicious characters, not ing the description of the vehicle or, better yet, getting the license plate number.

The Oregon Farm Bureau sponsors a program to help farmers mark their property with their Oregon driver's license number. County farm bureau offices have kits with a weatherproof warning pla card, stickers and inventory sheet. They also have tools available, with instructions, for stamping the numbers into machinery. The incidence of prosecution in farm theft and vandalism cases is rather, low, says Oregon State Police Superin tendent John C. Williams. When it comes to final documentation, he says farm ers are sometimes concerned about retribution from the accused vandal or theif. But if anything is to be done about the problem, farmers have to report crimes to the county sheriff or state police. "If a number of reports are turned in. there may be more pressure to get something done." says Larry Starr of Summerville. chairman of the Wheat League's theft and vandalism committee. "If yen don't report it. we don't know about it." he says. Adds Supt. Williams. "This is the only way that we can accumulate statistical data and place more patrols in certain areas."
