Or, call ASU Police and Police Aids at (480) 965-3456.<br />* Don’t leave candles unattended.<br />* Do not drink and drive or you will end up in a chain gang wearing pink shirts.<br />* Watch your children, especially during celebrations and in crowded shopping malls.<br />* Unplug holiday lights at night.<br />* Protect your credit cards and pay with cash at restaurants.<br />* Don’t carry large amounts of cash.<br />* Use secure Web sites to purchase items.<br />* Ensure any donations are going to a true charity.<br />* Keep holiday treats away from pets – raisins, chocolate, onions and grapes can be toxic to animals.<br />* Watch your step when carrying heavy loads and many packages.<br />* Make copies of your credit cards and keep those in a safe place.<br />* Enjoy the holiday season!</p>
