Insurance Companies Warn Holiday Shoppers to be on Guard Against Thieves

We’re heading into the prime holiday shopping season and the state’s insurance companies are warning shoppers to be on their guard. Calvin Call, Executive Director of the Missouri Insurance Information Service, says that while most people heading to stores and shopping malls are having a good time spending money, there are thieves in and around those malls, just waiting to ruin a shopper’s good time and steal that shopper’s money. Call advises shoppers to park in lighted areas, placing purchases out of sight – perhaps in the trunk, and making sure credit card receipts are secured.
