BURGLARS?
BAH
HUMBUG!
Burglars
love the holidays. Do you know why? They get lots of presents- YOURS, if your
aren't careful!
Here are some ways to protect your family's Holiday spoils
I know your 10 ft tree looks incredible in that front window for everyone to
see. Unfortunately, I mean
everyone. Burglars are waiting and watching
for people to show them all of their Christmas goodies.
Temptation at its best!
So please consider putting the tree a little further out of sight.
Certain items, such as laptops, digital cameras and game systems
are very attractive to burglars because they are easy to sell on the black
market. Keep them out of sight, preferably upstairs or in a closet. Keep a log
of your valuables, with pictures and receipts if you can. This will help you
replace them if you are hit by burglars. Insurance companies love this
attention to detail!
Doing that last minute shopping all over town? Keep those packages in the trunk so
they are not as accessible to thieves! You will be surprised how many places thieves hang out waiting for an easy score.
Burglars watch for families to leave for Christmas parties. Leave
lights on in the house and outside when you leave for the evening. Burglars do
not like to be in the Light! You can buy inexpensive light switch timers so your lights will go on in the front rooms
whether you are home or not. Keep your doors locked - even if you make a quick
trip to the store for that last minute pumpkin pie filling. Professional
burglars are quick!
If you go out of town, ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your home.
They need to bring in the mail and clean away any ads or fliers left on your
door/porch. These are tell tale signs nobody is home. Burglars love it when you
go out of town! Keep your hide-a-key in an odd place. Burglars know the usual hiding places. You may even want to move it several times during the week leading up to you
leaving to go out of town. And don't let the world know you are gone by announcing
it on Social Media! Post those awesome family photos once you are back home.
Last, but not least, don't kick those iPad or Laptop boxes to the
curb on the 26th. Cut them up and throw them in the trash cans. Burglar's busy
season doesn't end when Christmas is over and done with. They are still on the
prowl, looking for those new toys you just got! Continue to take extra
precautions- especially if you are going away for New Years.
Don't let Burglars ruin your Holiday Season!
