Hydrocodone is one of the most stolen prescription medications in Abilene and many times it is taken during burglaries. Police recommend putting them somewhere other than your medicine cabinet. An Abilene woman says sometimes that is not even good enough, after her medication was stolen from a safe. 

Medications are something that is not usually targeted in burglaries but if there is time and they are spotted, they can certainly be taken.

The reason is because they can be easily carried and easily sold.

Police say keeping medication in the medicine cabinet may not be the best place for them, and neither is a purse.

Another problem police are having is people with prescription medication filing false reports so they can get more drugs.
