Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Criminals go on their shopping spree in your vehicles as you Christmas shop. Also, go with a companion when all pos -
sible. Always park as close to the front of stores and under parking
lot lights.
Be aware of porch pirates and mailbox thieves. Set up door cameras or game cameras if you are out in the country. Pick up your packages as soon as possi - ble. Even the most daring crimi -
nals don't want to be caught.
