Here are some helpful safety tips to prevent electronic device loss:

1. Keep electronic devices such as cell phones, blackberrys, laptops, and portable game systems out of sight when not in use
2. Place electronic devices in a lockable hidden area of your vehicle (truck, glove box) before arriving at your destination
3. Remove GPS mount and clean markings left behind on your window. These markings show thieves you may be using a GPS device in your car
4. Keep portable electronic devices in a durable case to prevent damage if it is dropped
5. Keep electronic devices away from any edges where they may easily fall off
6. Do not place electronic devices in an easily accessible backpack or bag pocket. This makes it easy for a pickpocket to steal that device
7. Use a laptop lock when you are away
8. Keep liquids away from your laptop while it is in use
9. Be mindful about texting or using your expensive smart phone in busy public places. Someone texting and not paying attention to their surroundings is an easy target for a snatch-and-run thief
