At Home - Always lock your doors and windows when leaving your house, even for a few minutes.

Displays of holiday gifts should not be visible through your windows or doors.

Strangers At Your Door - Be aware that criminals sometimes pose as couriers or persons soliciting donations for charitable causes. Always ask for identification and ask how the donated funds will be used. If you are not satisfied, do not donate. Only donate to recognised charitable organisations.
