STAYING SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Even
though you are rushing and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your
surroundings and the people around you. If possible, park your car in an area of
high pedestrian activity. Avoid remote areas.
·
Lock your
car and close the windows, even if you are only gone for a few minutes.
·
Loose
change is a meal for a street person; they will break you window for small
change.
·
Your cell
phone can be sold and reprogrammed and is a sought item of theft.
·
A laptop
computer will keep a drug user in a high state, at your expense
·
Lock your
packages out-of-sight in the trunk. Place your valuables in the trunk before
you get to your destination, not after, the thief may be watching.
·
Be sure
and lock your car, many opportunists simply look for unlocked cars.

·
Consider
security film for automobile's windows.
·
Always
report a theft to the police.
·
Teach
your children to go to the store clerk and ask for help if you become separated
while shopping. They should never go to the parking lot or the car alone.
·
Avoid
carrying large amounts of cash. Pay for purchases with a check or credit card
when possible; and if the credit card receipt has carbons, ask for these too.
Notify issuers immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen, or misused.
·
Be extra
careful with purees and wallets. They may become targets for crime in crowded
shopping areas, at bus stops, and on public transportation.
·
Avoid
overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility
and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.
·
At home,
be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave the house,
even for a few minutes. Leave lights and a radio or television on so the house
looks occupied. Do not put large displays of holiday gifts in view of your
windows or doors.
·
If you go
away for the holidays, try to keep your home appearing "lived in":
Get an automatic timer for your lights. Have a neighbor watch your home and
pick-up your newspapers and mail.
·
If you
use lights on your tree, make sure that they are in good working order.
·
Immediately
mark your new gifts with your driver's license number, and note all serial
numbers, keeping records in a safe place.
·
Remember
to be a good friend and neighbor this holiday season: Share these tips with
others in your family and neighborhood. Also, why not get your neighborhood
together and go caroling. Do not forget the elderly and other people who might
be especially lonely during the holidays. Soon, you may wish to form a
neighborhood watch group. People helping people, that's what it is all about!
·
And
lastly, when hosting a party, find alternative transportation for intoxicated
guests; and when going out drinking, please remember: Don't Drink and Drive.
