If you want to be a target this winter, leave that new flat-screen box on the curb for all who pass-by to see.

We still need 125 more security memberships to meet our budget for 2013-2014!! We have just added a 14th shift and are now operating 3 shifts in the wee hours of the morning, 3-7 and 4-8. Â If we don't meet our goal, we will need to cut one of these shifts.Â

4. Â When shopping, don't get overloaded with too many packages. Â Keep at least one had free so you can easily access your car keys to enter your vehicle without delay.
5. Â Stay alert in public spaces. Â Know where your purse, packages, wallet, cell phone and other valuable are at all times and never leave valuables unattended. Â Talking or texting on your phone or digging in your purse for your keys while walking is a distraction and makes you an easy target.Â
