4. How Can We Avoid Being Victims of Theft?
Theft is a very serious crime that can cause big problems for both the victim and the offender. It’s important to stay aware of possible theft opportunities and to take the necessary precautionary measures in order to prevent it. Here are some ways to do so:
- Always ensure your belongings are safe by keeping them locked up or in a secure place.
- Do not leave valuable items in plain view in a car or public area.
- Invest in burglar alarms or home security systems.
- Never leave money or other valuables in unattended areas.
- Post a “protected by camera surveillance” sign, if possible.
Monitor Social Media Posts
A majority of theft cases are enabled due to postings made on various social media platforms. Posting images of expensive items, such as jewelry, electronics, or furniture, is not wise since it can lead people to think that you have more of these items that may be up for grabs. Avoid posting about going on vacation, as this may draw attention to your empty home and give thieves an opportunity. Additionally, do not share your exact location or post when you are going to be away.
Fortunately, the Hackensack Police Department is diligently searching for the culprits of this brazen robbery. Hopefully, soon justice can be served and the stolen items can be returned. For now, the Riverside Mall in Hackensack remains closed as the investigation carries on.
