It should come as no surprise that this time of year is an attractive time for criminals to commit theft. With us shoppers out looking to buy the perfect gift or making deals on Facebook marketplace, it can be easy to let our guard down amidst the chaos.

Thankfully, we can be proactive and take preventative measures to avoid falling victim to theft or crime.

Here are some easy-to-remember tips you can use according to the National Neighborhood Watch:

• If you have gifts indoors that are visible from outside, get them out of sight.
• Lock your vehicle(s) and remove important belongings.
