During the holiday season, pickpockets and thieves can target the stressed, hurrying people at all the packed stores and malls.
Make sure you keep track of all your possessions and your wallet or purse. Also, avoid carrying a lot of cash on you. Also, if you notice your credit cards, debit cards, or gift cards missing, make sure you call the provider as quickly as possible. A thief can more easily make large fraudulent charges during the holidays because stores expect big orders during the holidays.
If you go on a big shopping trip, you can consider taking breaks and locking what you have already bought in the trunk of your car. Of course, you may not want to leave very valuable objects even in the trunk of your car.
Even though retailers have every right to advertise and sell their products, remember that they will try to legally swindle your into buying needless items over the holidays. I suggest that you consider resisting the commercialized versions of the holidays. And instead you can look for more personal (and less costly) ways to show your appreciation for your friends and family.
