Tips to Protect Gifts from Potential Thieves

 

Christmas has come to an end and the Cherokee County Sheriff has some quick, easy and effective tips to help safeguard recently received gifts.

 

Sheriff David Groves says when it comes to valuable items like jewelry, firearms and some electronics, take a couple of pictures of each item, including any serial numbers. He says often deputies perform traffic stops or conduct search warrants where there is stolen property, but the rightful owners aren't able to positively identify it or they don't know the serial numbers.

 

Also, as you start to clean up and set trash and packaging out to be picked up, break down any boxes gifts may have been in. Sheriff Groves says failing to do so advertises the new items that might be available to be stolen inside your home.
