Decatur Daily Democrat:
Geneva Marshall Rob Johnson reported during the town's council meeting on Tuesday that there has been an increase in the number of calls to the police regarding items being stolen out of vehicles.
Johnson said, "We encourage people to keep their car doors locked" to avoid becoming a victim of this increasingly popular crime. He also said to make sure to report any theft to the Geneva Police Department as soon as possible because, "We will go out of our way to check it out."
Johnson also reported that there has been an increase in noise complaints, such as people playing music in their cars too loudly. Because there is no town noise ordinance, council members agreed to have Clerk-Treasurer Bill Warren draft an ordinance for review at an upcoming meeting. Warren noted that Berne and Fort Wayne have noise ordinances that are similar to each other and measure noise in footage as opposed to decibels. The Geneva ordinance will likely follow suit.
