are left unlocked to steal valuables. Keep doors locked. Report suspicious
activity to the police dept 503-436-2811. 

10.  JasonS: Keep your eyes open for counterfeit $100 bills. As per Sheri at
Bank of Astoria, you can purchase a counterfeit pen from Staples or Office
Depot.  With the pen, if the bill turns brown you possibly have a counter
fit bill but beware that even if it turns yellow this doesn’t mean that you
don’t have a bleached bill. (This means that a real $10 can be made to look
like a $100) The bill should have a strip going through the bill and have a
wax feeling to the touch.  It should also have a raised print like and
embossment, I always run my finger over the presidents collar.  If you have
a black light it should pick up the fabric strips, the holograms and the
strip.  (Note: the older bills do not have the strip). Most counterfeits
that I have seen are the older $100 and $20.  If you have any question that
a bill maybe fraudulent please do not hesitate to inform your customer to go
to your local bank and have the bill exchanged at that time!
