Gloucester Township Police Community Bulletin: Protect Your Holiday Gifts – Snap a Photo of Those Serial Numbers!
'Tis the season for joy, family, and generous gifts – from new laptops and tablets to gaming consoles, electric scooters, and other electronics under the Christmas tree. But did you know that burglaries often spike during the holidays, with thieves targeting homes full of shiny new valuables.
Take one simple step today to safeguard your presents: Photograph the serial numbers on all expensive gifts, especially electronics! Why? If stolen, serial numbers help police identify and return your items!
It's quick: Just flip the device over, find the serial number (often on the back, bottom, or in settings), and snap a clear photo. Store them securely in the cloud or email them to yourself!
