And, of course, the cash reward is an attraction. Crimstoppers in Thunder Bay Baker said that the Crimestop- pers program has been in effect in Thunder Bay since January 6, 1986. Since that time, from the in- formation received, there have been: 43 arrests; from 72 cases in- vestigated, valuables in the amount of $35,700 recovered; a significant amount of drugs recovered and $3,000 given out for rewards. Baker said there is the possibili- ty of a joint venture with all the municipalities in the northwest to set up a toll-free phone line to enable people to provide Crimestoppers information. He said each community would have to set up its own board and fundraising plans. Terrace Bay and Schreiber could constitute one community, Baker said. He added that Kimberly-Clark has offered to help establish a fund. John Smrke, from Corporation Falconbridge, presented Baker with a cheque toward the fund. Crime prevention Rick Ferrari, crime prevention officer with the Thunder Bay Police Force, visited businesses in the area prior to the seminar. He had several suggestions for the businesspeople to safeguard their properties from possible thefts or robberies. He mentioned keeping front windows clear of obstructions. This is so the police can see what's going on inside and the proprietor can see who's coming into the establishment. Ferrari said that making sure that the doors of the store are rein- forced and that back windows have mesh or bars are very important. Adequate lighting is very impor- tant as is a centralized system in the store, Ferrari said. This means having the main cash register in the store elevated so it looks down on the customers. He also mentioned keeping the attractive items that are easy to applies to be heard.

Don't be flexible Ferrari told the businesspeople not to be flexible in their shoplif- ting theory. Shoplifting is stealing whether it is a $1 item or a $400 item. Ferrari did say it is better to wait until shoplifters are out of the store. If you grab them in the store, he said, then they can say they were planning .to pay. It's a good idea to be positive they stole something. If they didn't, you could be hit with a lawsuit, Ferrari said.
