The season is upon us and we all need to make sure we are staying safe whilst we are out shopping or at home wrapping. When out shopping: 🔐 Be aware of your surroundings - crowded shops and markets give pickpockets cover. Keep bags closed and valuables in front pockets or zipped compartments.Don't overload yourself - carrying lots of bags makes you less alert and easier to target.Faraday card pouches are great for contactless cards and stops the signal for opportunists trying to clone cards.In car parks: 🔐 Never leave your shopping on display - lock items in the boot before leaving your car and keep them covered. Park in a well-lit area and avoid secluded spots when possibleCheck your doors are locked before walking away. Use a faraday pouch for keyless cars.Be discreet when loading your car, don't sort through purchases in view of others.At home: 🏠 Don't leave deliveries outside for long - use collection lockets, secure delivery boxes or a trusted neighbour to prevent doorstep thieves. Avoid placing wrapped presents under the tree that is visible to windows as this can attract opportunist thieves. Use timer lights if you are out in the evenings to help make your home look occupied. secure sheds and garages if you are planning on hiding presents there, these are common break in targets. Online shopping: 🔐 Use reputable websites and avoid deals that seem too good to be trueTrack your parcels and turn on delivery notificationsBe aware of phising emails that are pretending to be from couriers or retailers Thank you. |
