Christmas Safety Tips
After Christmas. This is when thieves usually go on a shopping spree. Avoid leaving boxes outside for trash pick up as this tells the thief ‘what you got. They know if you got a computer, DVD or new TV. Dispose of the boxes carefully by concealing them in trash bags. Update your property inventory with details, value and serial numbers of new items, and photograph each item. Supply copies to your insurance company and keep another copy in a safe place, not on the premises.
