The police were on the corners handing out flyers with the following crime prevention tips last night.
*Take extreme care of your personal property (e.g., backpacks, laptops, wallets, purses, etc.) while shopping and dining. Keep property in sight, and never leave it unattended, not even for a minute.
(The people here wear their backpacks facing forwards so no one behind them can take anything.)
*Beware of any individual who attempts to distract you (e.g., asks you a simple question) because s/he or an accomplice may be looking to take your property.
*Don't carry your purse loosely around your shoulder. Clutch it tightly under your arm or, better yet, avoid carrying a purse and keep a wallet (containing only items you need) in your pocket instead.
* Never leave vauable items unsecured at your work location. Secure them and immediately report any suspicious persons wandering about at your work place.
* The best and really the only way to prevent larcenies from motor vehicles is never to leave valuables in your car unattended (e.g., electronic goods such as cellular phones, laptop computers as well as credit/debit cards).
*In addition to cash, thieves desire credit cards. Carry only credit/debit cards that you frequently use and properly safeguard them.
