Sensible advice re your valuables when out and about:
  • Do not keep all your money in one place

  • Do not leave your mobile phone in view

  • Do not leave valuables on display in your vehicle

  • Do not leave your car unlocked when unattended, even for a minute.

  • Do not entertain strangers offering products for sale:- Two males have recently been offering perfume to sniff. Do not deal with such individuals, there intentions could be unlawful.

  • Do not obtain cash from the Post Office, Bank etc. and walk into the street with the money in your hand. Place the money in an inside pocket. Not your back pocket where it can be 'dipped' Unfortunately Xmas is a busy time for the 'Dips' i.e. pick pockets.

Travelling abroad and concerned with your own safety?  Ken Rogers can loan an excellent book to give you peace of mind. (tel:  01206 824813)
