(Undated) – As you continue your Christmas shopping authorities are reminding you to stay safe. Experts say that if you are purchasing gifts online you should consider having those items delivered to an address where you know someone will be there to accept them. They also say to shop during the day, but if you do shop at night consider doing it in a group. If you are carrying large amounts of cash, it’s best to carry it in your front pocket. If you discover that a credit or debit card is missing, notify the credit card company or bank as soon as possible, don’t just assume that you misplaced it and will find it later. Unfortunately, thieves often use this time of year to find easy targets. Identity theft and robberies are two of the most common crimes during the holiday season.
