The holidays are a prime time for thieves. Never leave your car unlocked. Always keep your doors, including garage doors locked.
One lady reported her Thanksgiving turkey was stolen from her garage refrigerator. She had left the side door unlocked.
Police advise never to leave items in plain site in your car. If a burglar enters your car and finds your garage door opener remote, he has easy access to your home through the garage.
When shopping do not leave valuables such as gifts, purses, wallets, or electronics in your vehicle where a potential thief can spot them.
Put valuables in the trunk of your car where they are out of sight.
Always lock your vehicle even if you think that you are just going to be away from it for a few minutes; regardless where it is parked. It only takes seconds for a thief to open your door, grab something of value, and walk away as if nothing ever happened.
As Christmas comes near, thieves will be looking for easy targets to enter your home and steal the gifts from under the tree.
During the holidays residential burglars are relying on the fact that Christmas presents are going to be in your homes and most likely under the Christmas tree. These people are opportunistic and will not think twice about pulling into a driveway, ringing your door bell, and then when no one answers kicking in your door and grabbing what they can before leaving.
