Tips for the holiday season

Absolutely Affordable Bail Bonds, the company that offers bail bonds in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, wants to keep you and yours safe this holiday season. Here are their tips to keeping away from crime, and to keep yourself having a happy holiday!

Always be aware of your surroundings – you may be rushing around, shopping, planning, and socializing, but crime will always catch you at your most vulnerable. Keep a watchful eye, and be careful to note any suspicious activity. Also minimize shopping at night or alone – again, these times are when you are most susceptible to criminal activity. Make shopping a fun day with friends whenever possible. Avoid overloading yourself with packages whether on your person or in your vehicle.

Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Take only the cash you need or pay with a credit card or ATM card; carry only as many cards as you will need. If you must use an ATM, use one inside of a well-populated building or a well lighted area. Only withdraw the amount of cash that you will need for that day. Protect your PIN from the view of other people near the ATM. Keep a record of all your credit card numbers at home in a safe location. Report lost or stolen credit cards immediately. Be extra careful when carrying a wallet or purse; only carry what you absolutely need in them. They are prime targets for criminals in crowded shopping areas, transportation terminals, and bus stops.
