    The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary is out with some tips to keep the Grinch away this Christmas. Whether it’s at home or on vacation, there are steps people can take to secure their property. Cst James Cadigan says  it’s a busy time of year for most, and that includes those looking to capitalize on distracted homeowners. He says make sure all windows and doors are locked and your alarm system is on. Use curtains and blinds to keep all gifts and valuables out of sight and ensure the inside and outside of your home is well lit, Do not store spare keys in your vehicle or within arms-reach of a window or door. If you are away from home for an extended period, use light timers or motion-activated sensors. Ask a trusted neighbour or friend to check on your property while you’re away.
