HOLIDAY SHOPPING SAFETY TIPS
The holiday season is a time when people can become careless and
vulnerable to theft and other holiday crimes. People are often in a rush
buying gifts, decorating their homes, visiting friends or traveling. There is
a big increase in the number of people that are out and about shopping at
the malls and grocery stores, packing the parking lots, grabbing taxis, filling
up the seats on rapid transit and waiting in lines at ATM machines.
Late Nights
Many stores extend hours late into the night. People head to the stores after
work, then at closing time, you see them emerging with the dazed eyes of
sleepwalkers. Amazingly, then the mall parking lots empty out in record
time and within minutes become deserted. Without fail, there are always a
handful of people wandering the lots alone, looking for where they parked
their cars or digging through handfuls of shopping bags searching for their
lost car keys. To normal, law-abiding people, all of this kind of holiday
hoopla and pressure is just part of the festive mood of the season. And
all the gaiety, unfortunately, also tends to cause people to let their innate
sense of caution temporarily fall by the wayside.
Why Thieves Love the Holiday Season
All the hustle and bustle going on over the holidays gives thieves what they
want, almost as much as an unlocked bank vault and that is the opportunity
to become invisible. By being as nondescript as possible, they can move
through big crowds of rushed and distracted people without anyone
noticing them. They can pickpocket and shoplift and when their victims
realize that they have been robbed, they will have no idea who did it. In
most communities, the police work additional hours during November and
December. They are kept busy the increase of traffic accidents, home fires,
bar fights and family disputes. Also, during the month of December, more
people die of natural causes than any other time of the year. Police often
have to change their regular routines and leave the nightly patrol through
neighborhoods to answer emergency calls.
Thieves Feed on Opportunities
Thieves know that the police are overloaded during the holiday season
and they take full advantage it. They thrive on the fact that the police and
stores’ loss prevention staff have their hands full with amateur thieves who
are hauled to jail for trying to steal from the electronics departments or
waiting for the parents of pre-teens who pocketed the latest video game. In
the meantime, the professional thieves are busy breaking into cars in the
parking lots to steal gifts, cell phones and electronics or stalking and robbing
or scamming the people who are alone. Some thieves prefer burglarizing
homes. They spend their time walking neighborhoods, looking for houses
that appear that the homeowners are away. Darkened homes nestled
between neighbors with front yards bursting with holiday lights will draw
their attention. Having the kids off from school is another concern because
of the number of unsupervised teens hanging around without anything to
do. Homes within neighborhoods are broken in more times by young male
teens that live in or near the neighborhood. They often choose a home and
then hang out to see when the homeowners leave each day. They might
be so brazen and ring the doorbell, then pretend to try to sell something if
anyone answers.
How to Keep From Becoming a Holiday Crime Victim
The following tips can help you be more careful, prepared and aware
during the holiday season.

. Try to shop during the day, but if you do shop at night, do not do it alone.
. Dress casually and comfortably.
. Avoid wearing expensive jewelry.
. Do not carry a purse or wallet, if possible. Consider bringing a security travel pouch instead.
. Always carry your driver’s license or identification along with necessary cash, checks and/or a
credit card you expect to use.
. Recognize when you are rushed, distracted and stressed out and stay alert to what is going on
around you.
. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
. Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible.
. Keep cash in your front pocket.
. If you discover that a credit card is missing, notify the credit card company as soon as possible.
. Don’t assume that you misplaced it and will find it later.
. Keep a record of all of your credit card numbers in a safe place at home.
. Be extra careful if you do carry a wallet or purse. They are the prime targets of criminals in
crowded shopping areas, terminals, bus stops, on buses and other rapid transit.
. Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of
motion if you are approached.
. Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, con-artists may try
various methods of distracting you, including working in teams, with the intention of taking your
money or belongings.

GIVING THE GIFT OF TIME THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
The holidays are a great time to start volunteering and give total strangers an extremely valuable
gift: the gift of your time. Research has linked volunteering to reducing symptoms of depression
and elongating life span. So if you’re looking to give and make some friends, hone professional
skills or combat the winter blues while you’re at it, check out these ideas and get started.
• Take initiative and plan a toy drive.
• Spread holiday cheer to the elderly, disabled or sick.
• Commit to mentoring a child in your community through Mentoring USA and Big Brothers Big
Sisters.
• Random Acts of Kindness - everyday: Hold the door open for the person behind you, smile
at the barista when you place your order, return a stranded shopping cart to the supermarket,
write an email to someone you haven’t talked
to in a while, compliment someone you don’t
know or thank your parents for being amazing
supporters.
Whatever you do, no kind act is too small. And
kindness is contagious. If you do something
nice for someone else, chances are they’ll feel
uplifted and be more inclined to help someone
else themselves. Even the smallest acts can
contribute to making your community a
happier, kinder place-that’s what we’d argue
the so-called holiday spirit is all about.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found
in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant
in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting
helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities
that allow them to:
• Try new things.
• Provide service to others.
• Build self-confidence.
• Reinforce ethical standards.
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals
while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high selfesteem.
As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure
can be resisted and the right choices can be made.
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting
through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help
our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area
Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.
