• If you’re going away, use timers on lights to make your home look lived‑in.
• Don’t leave gifts on display where they can be seen from outside.
🎁 Keep Your Presents Safe
• When out shopping, keep bags zipped and valuables close.
• Never leave purchases visible in your car.
• Dispose of packaging discreetly—don’t advertise new items.
🚗 Stay Safe on the Roads
• Plan your journey, especially in bad weather.
• Take extra care around busy shopping areas and car parks.
📱 Online Safety
