Remember to be especially vigilant during this holiday season. Here are some things to be aware of in the coming weeks:
- Cut up those big TV and computer boxes so as not to alert thieves that you have great new “stuff.”
- If you are not going to be at home, ask a neighbor to watch for package deliveries so they don’t remain unattended too long on the stoop.
- When shopping, lock you packages in the trunk if possible so they are not visible from outside the car.
- If you are carrying a lot of packages, ask the mall security guard to walk you to the car.
- Don’t post your travel plans on social media. That’s an invitation for a break‐in.
