Tis the season....
As the shopping season is upon us I would like to encourage all to heed the following.
Taking a few prevention measures can help keep your holiday season joyous.
The holiday season is a time when busy people can become careless and vulnerable to theft and other holiday crime.
Leave the oversized purse at home and put the cards and cash you need in a wallet close to your body, preferably under a Jacket or sweater. Having to reach under your sweater to get to the wallet in your breast pocket will lessen the chance your pocket will be picked.
Stand between the next person in line and the debit card machine when entering your pin number. Do not worry about being rude, it is impolite to stand in view of a person’s personal banking information.
The bait-and-switch trick is popular during the holidays where someone will switch worthless bag for yours when you are not looking. Do not look away. Keep and eye or a hand on your bag at all times.
Do not try to carry a large number of bags around. After collecting three or so bags, take them to your car, and put them out of sight in a securely locked compartment. This way you can shop in comfort and have less of a chance of losing your purchases to criminals.
More so than protecting your valuables, you should also protect your person. Do not walk in abandoned parking lots or halls alone. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason, find mall security and ask for an escort. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, do whatever you must to draw attention to yourself.
Make sure you lock your purchases and other personal items in the trunk of your car. If you drive an SUV or van, put them beneath the seats or on the floor between the front and back seats, then cover them up with an old coat or blanket. And, whatever you do, don’t leave your vehicle unattended while warming up in cold weather. That’s an invitation to thieves to steal it.
Going Away for the Holidays:Have a trusted neighbor to keep an eye on your house and to call 911 if they see unauthorized guests.Utilize timers for your lights or turn some lights on to mimic someone being there.Don't forget your exterior lights. Photocell and motion lights can deter crime.If you will be leaving any vehicles outside during your trip, do not leave the garage door remote inside it. Criminals can access your vehicle and use the remote entry to burglarize your house.
LARCENY FROM VEHICLES
A larceny is simply a term used to say that someone stole something. It is theft. The Wichita Police Department has seen an increase all over the city in larcenies from vehicles. Items commonly stolen from a car include: Purses, wallets, cell phones, cell phone chargers, laptops, insurance paperwork, tools, garage door openers, and the coins from an ashtray. These items should not be left inside a vehicle. Criminals are having the time of their lives stealing from Wichitans this year. Citizens must take ANYTHING of value out of their cars each night. Please be mindful at all times but especially as we approach the Holiday season. Don't be a victim of this easily preventable crime
