Some Additional Security Tips

1. If you are followed, drive to a well-lit and populated area; take good notes of vehicle following you, i.e. license plate, color, make & model, etc., and contact the police.
   
   
2. When blow drying your hair or taking a shower, lock your door or set your resident alarm. If you have a dog, place it in the home to alert you should someone attempt to gain entry.
   
   
3. Purchase a shredder so that when you dispose of your trash you can shred and destroy any credit card statements, personal documentation that may be visible while garbage is awaiting pick up and removal by the sanitation company.
