🎄 Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas Crime Prevention 🎄

Keep Gifts Out of Sight from Windows and Prying Eyes

As the excitement builds towards Christmas, brightly wrapped gifts under the tree can easily catch attention — not just from family, but from anyone looking in from outside.
 

Visible presents can tempt burglars, especially during darker evenings.

Try to position your Christmas tree and gifts away from direct street view.
 

Closing curtains at night or using blinds can help keep presents hidden from anyone passing by.

If possible, avoid placing high‑value items under the tree until Christmas morning.
 

Keeping them stored safely out of sight reduces the risk of opportunistic theft.

A few simple adjustments can help protect your home and make sure your festive celebrations stay joyful and secure.
