Is there any connection between having a garage sale and subsequent burglaries at the site?
Sometimes, but not all the time. To have a garage sale safely, keep the following tips in mind: • Expect to have customers arrive early for the sale, no matter what time you have advertised for it to begin. • Have the garage sale in the front of your home, not inside your garage. • Keep all doors and windows locked that are not visible to you from your post, as well as any vehicles you have parked in your driveway. Be sure to remove any valuables from your car. • Keep earnings in a hip pouch and take large bills inside the house as a precaution. • Do not allow customers to use your bathroom or telephone. Direct them to the nearest public facility. • Have a couple of friends there with you at all times. There’s safety in numbers!
