Holiday travel safety
Nationwide. The following Thanksgiving safety travel tips come from the National Crime Prevention Council.
Make sure your house appears "lived-in" when you are away. Lock all doors and windows. Set household lights (inside and out) on timers.
Trim your hedges and bushes so thieves don't have a place to hide out.
Have a neighbor park a car in your driveway and pick up your mail and newspapers while you are away.
Let someone know where you are going, the route you plan to take, and when you plan to arrive. If you deviate from that plan, let someone know.
Do not stop if your car is bumped from behind or if someone says there is something wrong with your car. Go to a service station or a well-lighted, populated area and call for help.
Never leave items of value visible in your car. Lock them in your trunk or take them with you.
Fill the gas tank before dark. Lock your car doors and roll up your windows if you step away from the car for any reason
