Crimestoppers Warns on Christmas Packages

It isn’t only the Grinch who is out to steal Christmas. Jackson Hole CrimeStoppers says packaging – especially from high-dollar gifts – should not be left at the curb, but they should be disposed of out of sight or taken to be recycled immediately. Leaving them out can advertise to would-be burglars that there are attractive items to steal inside. Keep the receipts for all major purchases in a safe place along with serial numbers if possible. Holiday lights outside the home do more than spread Christmas cheer – they also light up areas around windows and doors where burglars might lurk. Jackson Hole CrimeStoppers also urges residents seeing any suspicious individuals lurking around neighborhoods to report them promptly at 733-2331. A little precaution can help keep the “happy” in the holidays.
