Hopefully, you get everything you want for Christmas. More importantly: hopefully you keep all that new, cool stuff out of the hands of thieves. Here’s some good advice for that.
@PalmSpringsPD would like to remind you NOT to leave your holiday gift boxes curbside, as an advertisement to criminals. Let's work together pic.twitter.com/vzoprbOYZU

Police recommend taking a couple of minutes to break down the boxes and toss them in the recycle bin so would-be-thieves won’t easily see you got a new 50″ HDTV or soundbar.
Sure, that is going to take a good three or four minutes away from you enjoying your new present, but if it keeps your house from getting broken into, I would say it is worth it.
