Have safer holidays at home, in your car

Grinches are always extra active during the this season, looking for unsecured houses and even cars, and aiming to make off with some loot. Mexico is surely safer than many U.S. cities, but wise and wary expats should be prepared to foil grinches with heightened awareness of their modus operandi.

Lights, both indoor and outdoor, have been called the cheapest of security systems, as they are inexpensive to buy and do not require nearly as much power as appliances. Get timers or just leave lights on 24/7. Nobody notices them during the day, but once the sun sets, a lit house offers good protection.
