Holiday Awareness: Buying presents online is convenient, especially for thieves.
Some follow delivery trucks and others just porch surf looking for opportunities.
So, if you’re ordering online, arrange delivery for when you or a family member
are home. If you can’t, try to arrange delivery to a local mailbox store or
have the delivery held at a safe location until you are home. If you’re
shopping the traditional way and visiting stores for your purchase, be sure to
place your packages out of sight if you have to leave them in your car.
However, it’s best not to leave anything of value in your car, even your trunk.
Thieves watch mall parking lots and downtown garages for opportunities.
