The holidays are here, but unfortunately, not everyone is in the same holiday spirit as you are. Therefore, in the midst of spreading holiday cheer, make sure to be on the lookout for suspicious activity and remain aware of your surroundings at all times. Gathered are essential holiday safety tips:
- Home safety is extremely important during the holidays. Refrain from leaving any valuables in plain sight, including all the presents under the tree. Either place your tree somewhere other than in front of the window or do not put the presents out until the night before.
- Driving safety is another concern for many. Make sure to hide your valuables in your truck and never leave new purchases out in the open. It is extremely difficult for criminals to deter their temptations when they see piles of shopping bags in your back seat.
- Holiday shopping safety is also essential, as many criminals are looking to take advantage of unsuspecting shoppers. Try using only one credit or debit card for your holiday gift purchases so that you can track your spending and spot fraudulent activity with ease.
