Lake Delton— The community of Lake Delton has set up a place for in-person purchases of items found on Craigslist or other Internet sales sites.

Village leaders say the fire station is a safe zone for the transactions. A sign posted in the parking lot says “Internet Purchase Exchange Location.” Video cameras record activity.
