CRIME PREVENTION TIP  CRIME PREVENTION CHRISTMAS TIPS While doing your Christmas shopping, always store your packages in the trunk of your vehicle out of sight from suspected thieves. If you do not have a trunk, then take along a blanket to cover your packages while in the back seat of your car. Always make sure your vehicles are locked before going to another store. Be careful while using your credit card at department stores so that no one observes you using your PIN number and always keep a tight grip on your purse while walking in the parking lots or shopping stores. Be careful not to lay your purse or wallets down on the counters if having to attend to your child or other matters, it only take a second to steal those items. If possible, keep your credit cards, driver's license or other personal information items separate from your purse (maybe use a small coin purse to keep in your pocket). By doing so, if your purse is stolen, thieves won't have access to your personal information or banking information. Also, if your purse is stolen, immediately call your bank or credit card instituitons and cancel your accounts. Try to go shopping with other family members so that you are not shopping alone. Most thieves prey on people who shop alone as they are esier targets. Try and do your shopping in day light hours or if forced shop at night, park in well lighted parking lots as close to the entrance as possible.. Once your shopping is completed and you are arriving at home, always take your packages into your house if they are not stored in the trunck of your car.    For further Crime Prevention information visit our website at http://www.winnipeg.ca/police/tblofcontents/crimeprevention.stm
