As a perhaps timely reminder, it's the holiday season, which means certain predators are on the lookout for an easy holiday shopping score, or for an easy burglary score of homes left unlit while the residents are away. Park under the lights close to the doors whenever possible at public venues, don't be among the last shoppers to leave at the end of the evening. If anything has to be stored in your vehicle, put in the locked trunk instead of the back seat. Have your car keys already in hand before you exit public establishments. Leave porch, garage and living room lights on while you're out.
IOW, stay smart and stay safe so you can all have a happy holiday season.
