Anchorage Police Department: We’re in the middle of shopping season – keep your purchases safe!

Christmas is only a week and a half away! Weren’t we just carving the Thanksgiving turkey? Where in the world does the time go? Good for you if you are all done with your holiday shopping. Now you can just sit back and relax while the rest of us are still running around like crazy people trying to get things done. As a reminder, here are a few tips:

If you’re shopping in person make sure you keep your vehicle locked. Once you’ve made your purchases, hide them in your car prior to driving to your next destination. And keep all of your receipts on your person instead of in the shopping bags.

If you’ve decided that shopping from the warmth of your home while wearing your pajamas and fuzzy slippers is the way to go, then make sure to keep an eye out for those packages to show up on your front door step. Should some inconsiderate soul steal your stuff, please file two reports. Not only do we need to know about it but so does the entity who delivered the packages (USPS, UPS, Fed Ex, and etcetera). You can file your police report online with us at http://www.muni.org/Departments/police/forms/Pages/OnlineReportingSystem.aspx. If you have great suspect information then please call APD Dispatch at 3-1-1 (option #1).

Assuming you’re on the nice list and not the naughty list – Santa will be visiting you real soon. Get those stockings hung up and prepare the milk and cookies. The good kind of cookies – not those weird ones with the dried fruit in them. BLECH. You don’t want Santa to abruptly turn around and leave do you?

Happy holidays!!
