POLICE TIPS

* If someone signals that something is wrong with your car, drive to the

nearest service station to check it. Do not stop and get out of your car.

* Have a light on in the room where you are and have a light on in a room

where you are not. It gives the impression that more than one person is

at home.

* Give your home a lived-in look by arranging for pickup of papers and

mail in your absence.

* Teach your children to answer with a simple “Hello.” Do not answer by

saying the name of the family.
