The Lebanon Police Department reminds you...
Holidays are a special time of the year. Unfortunately,
busy people become vulnerable to theft and other crimes.
The following tips can make your holidays safer and
happier.
* Always be aware of your surroundings and the people around you.
* Lock your vehicle and close all windows even if you’re gone for
a few minutes. Lock packages and valuables in the trunk.
* Never leave your keys in your vehicle or leave your vehicle running unoccupied.
* Park near streetlights if possible and have your keys in your hands when
you return to enter your vehicle.
* Check the interior of your vehicle before getting in.
* Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear
visibility and freedom of motion.
* Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. Con artists may try
various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money
or belongings.
* Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Use checks or credit cards if possible
to pay for purchases.
* If your credit cards are lost or stolen, notify the issuers immediately.
* Keep a secure hold on your purse, handbags, and packages. Do not put these
items on top of your vehicle in order to open your vehicle.
* Always lock your doors and windows at home and give the impression that
your house is occupied by leaving lights and a radio or television on.
* Do not put gifts or expensive items where they can be seen from the street.
* Advise neighbors and police if you’re going to be away from your
home for an extended period of time.
