Crime Prevention Tip Of the Day

 

Protect Your Belongings Outdoors - Secure your belongings rather than leave them unattended off to the side where visitors may pass. Being nearby is not enough to stop a sneak thief: it takes only the very few seconds that your attention is focused on something else for a thief to walk unobtrusively away with your property.
