Holiday Theft Prevention

By  | 
    With the holiday shopping gift-buying upon us, here are two tips to protect yourself from theft.
    Watch your credit and debit card statements, closely, and check them on line if you can.  Many accounts get hacked this time of year through computers and through less than secure merchants. Watch for charges you did not make and contact your card provider immediately if you see such charges.
    Put your purchases in the trunk or outside of view of passersby, and lock your vehicle.  Packages in plain view, especially in an unlocked vehicle, are an invitation to theft.
