The Harris County Sheriff's Office Auto Theft Unit urges careful holiday shopping safety. Do not carry large cash or bulky purses, remove valuables from cars, park near doors, shop in daylight if possible, and avoid leaving packages in cars. Walk with others, seek security escorts if needed, secure packages in trunks, and be aware of surroundings when banking. Protect vehicles at home by parking in garages to reduce crimes of opportunity.
