5 Ways to Protect Yourself from Theft During the Holidays

The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, but it’s also a time when theft and break-ins increase. Here are five ways to protect yourself from theft during the holidays:

  1. Protect your home: Make sure your home is secure by locking all doors and windows. Consider installing a security system or motion-activated lights to deter thieves.
  2. Protect your packages: If you’re having gifts shipped to your residence, make sure someone is there to receive them. You can also have packages delivered to a secure location, such as a post office box or a package locker.
  3. Protect your car: Don’t leave valuables in your car, especially in plain sight. Park in well-lit areas and lock your doors.
  4. Be aware of your surroundings: When shopping or running errands, be aware of your surroundings. Keep your purse or wallet close to your body and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
  5. Contact an attorney: If you’re a victim of theft or falsely accused of theft, contact a local attorney for assistance. An attorney can help protect your rights and build a strong defense.
