thoughts to keep yourself safe this holiday season.

I know many of these tips you have heard before and probably will hear again but with the holiday season now here and people out shopping i thought i would resay some of the tips i have heard around the internet and on tv that could help keep your family and your valuables safe and secure.


when walking on the sidewalk always walk in the middle. This makes it difficult for theives to jump out of a ally or car to steal or do you harm.

Put valuables in unseen places. When you go to the store put purses wallets and other valuable items in the trunk of the car or with you into the store. If thieves dont see something valuable then you dont become a target.

Dont put presents in the car until you are ready to leave. Thieves often do surveilance to look for shoopers leaving things in the trunk or the car to jack them later so dont put any new items in the car until you are ready to leave the store.

Shop during the day. Theievs are less like to strike during the day than they are at nightas the night gives them concealment from many conventional camera systems.

Park in a well lit area. Park as close to a light source as possible so theievs will ahve to show themselev to a camera if they want to break into a car.

Use common sense. I know this is no brainer but think about your actions before doing them. Dont get caught up in the christmas spirit and forget to think.

Trust our instincts. if something feels wrong it usually is.

Just soem things i picked up from the net and tv be cool all and happy holidays.
