Safety First: Don’t Get Spooked by Halloween Horrors

More vandalism claims are filed on Halloween than any other day of the year, according to the Highway Data Loss Institute. Follow these tips to keep your property safe from Halloween mischief-makers: 

• Prepare for pranksters. To avoid having your car vandalized or stolen, park in a secure, well-lit area with your windows up and doors locked. 
• Keep an eye out for Wolverine and Wonder Woman. Drive slowly and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to make it easier to see and be seen by children. 
• Light up the night. Ample lighting outside of your home will help keep the creeps away and provide safe passage to party guests and trick-or-treaters. Keep paths clear to prevent slips. 
• Follow safe pumpkin protocol. Keep lit jack-o-lanterns, candles, matches and lighters out of children’s reach. Use flameless candles if possible. 
• Beware the brew. Hosting a grown-up party? Keep an eye on your guests and make sure you have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and snacks on hand.
