I found that the keys were left in the ignition again.. it's not a crime to leave your keys in your vehicle, but if your stolen car causes any damage, it's YOUR financial responsibility.

-Make sure you keep the numbers of the issuers somewhere besides on the back of your card

-Always check your monthly financial statements carefully against your receipts.

-Review your consumer credit report annually.

-Don’t leave mail in your mailbox for more than a day

- If you are gone, arrange to have a trusted neighbor or friend pick up your mail.

-Shred or tear up all unnecessary documents that have your personal information on them.

-Never put in a credit or debit card number through a website unless it offers a secure transaction.
