Here are some tips to help you celebrate safely this holiday season.
If you’re traveling:
-
Use an automatic timer for your lights.
-
Ask a neighbor to watch your home, shovel snow and park in your driveway from time to time.
-
Remember to have mail and newspaper delivery stopped. Stacks of items are signs that you’re gone.
If you’re shopping:
-
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Keep your wallet close to the front of your body.
-
Park in a well-lit space, lock the car and hide shopping bags and gifts in the trunk.
-
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Pay with a check or credit card whenever possible.
If you’re out in the evening:
-
Turn on lights and a radio or TV, so it looks like someone’s home.
-
Remain extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
-
Display gifts where they cannot be seen from the outside.
