Stay Safe This Holiday Season

This is the time of year crooks and thieves look forward to.
With all the hustle and bustle of running around trying to get
things done we can become distracted and fail to notice our
surroundings. Don't be a victim due to carelessness.

Here are a few tips to help you stay safe.

Try to do your shopping during the daylight hours.

Try to park close to store or mall entrances, and in well lit areas.

Keep your packages in the trunk of your car or hidden from view.

When walking through parking lots, stay alert, look around for any
thing suspicious.
Walk with authority. Keep defense sprays at the ready.

Don't dangle handbags from your shoulder. Carry it tucked firmly
under your shoulder. Even better, try not to carry a hand bag at all.
Instead, put your driver's license and credit cards in a front pocket
so your hands will be free.

Be careful when using ATM's. Use those in populated places, but be
alert for suspicious persons hanging around. Avoid using ATM's at night.
If you must go at night, use a well lit ATM that is visible to passing
traffic.

Before leaving a store put your cash and credit cards out of sight.
Don't walk out counting your change or putting away your check book
or credit cards.

Lastly, don't forget safety and security in the home. While you are out
shopping burglars may decide to do their shopping in your home.

Hopefully, you will find this information helpful in keeping you and
yours safe this holiday season and throughout the year.
