I was speaking to one of the vendors that Farmers Insurance uses for glass replacement and he told me that it is amazing at this time of year how many automobile windows they replace due to smash and grab thieves.  Holiday packages in plain view in your automobile are prime targets for this type of activity and it occurs regularly.

So while you are out Holiday shopping for your loved ones please take the extra step to put packages in your trunk; if driving an SUV or Truck, make sure that you take the necessary precaution to hide any packages from plain sight.

While the Holiday shopping season brings this to light, it is also a very good practice to follow throughout the year to keep any valuables out of sight in your vehicle.
