Post Holiday Blues

This is a re-post of a previous article. I feel it's far more relevant to have foresight in preparing for the risks that may be lurking now in your neighborhood.

It's been two weeks since Christmas and  for every corner I've driven around neighborhoods I can't help but notice that Santa was very good to some folks!

A lot of you got a new flat screen, XBOX,

Smart phone, tablet, etc. A bunch of great electronics! 

Are you bragging about it, or have you stopped to think that you really didn't intend the outside world to know about those big ticket items? With this type of advertising it's like having an online catalog to thieves that are browsing for that specific item. Not to mention if the intention is to sell what they steal, you've left the box for a re-packaging that can be practically passed off as new!

These little over sites are what lead to big heartache in time. So take the extra measure to flatten the boxes, shredding them or turning them inside out. Consider waiting until your scheduled pick up day to place your discards on the curb. 

Remember to think ahead and have a Happy and Safe New Year!
