HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIPS.. BY MEL PARAS
 Its this season to be jolly.. But its also the season for CRIMINALS.. People who prey on the the distracted or unfocused.. Be alert.. folks,.. Not everyone has your best interest at heart.. Like park in lighted areas.. park as close to the shopping centers as possible,.. The longer you have to walk. especially alone at night.. The target you become male or female. These are desperate times.. People could care less how hard you worked and who you are.. Alot of these folks are drugged up or desperate lost souls looking for fast cash.. I know it wont happen to me.. and Lets hope he doesn't.. But being watchful and avoid the situations will save you,..
 Tips.. 
1) Always lock you goodies , in the trunk.. out of sight and out of mind.. 
2) if you can.. after shopping immediately drive home.. crooks.. who see you drop off gifts and then see you walk back in to Mall.. yup.. Break in.. I know I have a alarm.. But how many alarms have you heard in your life. and ignore.. it; and people these days.. do the same.. and even if they do see it.. Wont stop it.. and forget about calling 911.. because 911 puts you on the hold anyways.. People are too impatient to do the right thing.. sad truth..
3) Don't flash cash around.. and keep your wallet in front pocket and or purse.. Again.. Don't give people ideas.. 
4) Don't be afraid to ask for escorts by security personnel. That's why they are there. use them.. 
5) Lastly.. shop in pairs.. POWER IN NUMBERS.. CROOKS ARE LOOKING FOR EASY TARGETS.. TRY TO BE IN A GROUP.. IF YOU DO SHOP ALONE. BE VIGILANT.. LOOK ASSERTIVE AND BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS.. 

I hope these quick tips or reminders will assist you during the holidays.. I knew alot of the times we need friendly reminders.. That evil lurks.. Just be careful.. So that this Holiday season can be spent sharing good times with family and friends.. Instead of........? 
or Lastly.. Don't drink and drive.. and be kind to others...
