Received this notice from Lt. Joseph Dempsey of the Altadena Sheriff's Station:
During the holiday season we ask that residents of Altadena be even more diligent with their belongings. A few tips for the holidays:
Require a signature from UPS, FedEx, and the Post Office. Do not allow packages to be left on your door step. Historically there is an increase in packages being stolen from residences during the holiday season.
Do not leave valuables in your vehicles or in plain sight (especially newly purchased gifts).
Lock your vehicles (whether it is parked on the street, in a parking lot, or in your driveway.)
Lock and secure your home when you leave. Close and lock all windows and doors and set the alarm.
If you are going to be out of town, let your neighbors know. Stop your mail and your newspapers.
If you see any suspicious persons or behavior please call the Altadena Sheriff’s Station at 626-296-1131.
We wish you a blessed Holiday.
