Here are the top 3 stories today in Reno:

  1. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office is advising online holiday shoppers to take precautions when having packages delivered to prevent theft. Officials say the holiday season typically brings an "uptick" of porch thefts as homeowners have high-value items delivered to their doorstep. The Sheriff's Office advises tracking packages online so shoppers know when to expect them and monitoring home security camera footage regularly during this time of year. (Press Release Desk)
  2. Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve is seeking another four-year term in office. The incumbent will run against opponent Eddie Lorton in the general election for the seat on Nov. 8. If elected, this will be Schieve's third and final role as the city's mayor, due to term limits. (KOLO)
  3. Beyond Van Gogh, the immersive art experience that opened in Reno in August, is set to leave town soon. The exhibition features multiple rooms filled with projections of the famous artist's work that one reviewer described as a "living picture book." Tickets are still available online through Oct. 30.
