SAPD Offers Shopping Safety Tips

News4 recently broadcast a segment on shopping safety during the Christmas rush.  An SAPD official recommends:

• Guard against carelessness, it's easy to become distracted while power shopping
• Don't leave items in plain view, cover with a jacket or blanket
• Park in well-lit areas, and, if possible, near the store front
• Don't carry large amounts of cash

FSR Safety adds:  Don't store recent purchases in your car.  Bring them inside the house right away to avoid a vehicle burglary.

To all shoppers:  Good hunting!
