Editor's note: The following is a Richfield Public Safety crime alert. Several residents have contacted the Richfield Water Department regarding green bottles left on their doorstep with a request for a water sample.

He would not provide a business card or a company name. The man was driving a grey…

A Minneapolis woman suspects that a Richfield Burger King cashier used her credit card number to rack up $1,400 in online charges. On May 21, the woman, a resident of the 4400 block of Xerxes Avenue, dined at a Burger King, 96 W. 66th St., with her 14-year-old son. According to the police report, she said that when she gave the cashier her Visa card, the employee “was acting suspicious[ly] and paid extra attention to the card." Two days later, the woman received a call from Visa saying that her card had been used online to purchase an iPhone 4S for $700, along with another $700 charge that the credit card company is disputing, according to the report.

To avoid identity theft one of the best ways to protect yourself is to get a locking mailbox. Homeowners need to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to mail theft. By not having a locking mailbox you're basically giving a stranger the key to your home. I bought one 6 years ago and won't ever be without one again. A locking mailbox is a cheap price to pay for piece of mind. Jay www.… more ›
