When Christmas shopping we often lower our guard and make it easier for thieves to target us, so please remember:
- When using an ATM protect your PIN so no-one can see it.
- Don’t count your cash at the machine but put it away securely, as quickly as you can
- Fit ‘sleigh bells’ to your handbag fastener so they alert you if someone is trying to open it
- Lock your car whenever you leave it, even when just for a minute to get your parking ticket
- Lock valuables, including Christmas presents, out of sight in the boot
- If shopping on line, make sure the site has the padlock icon showing its secure before entering payment details
- If expecting deliveries when you are out, make arrangements for them to be delivered to a trustworthy neighbour or to an alternative location where you can collect them so they are not left on the doorstep.
