Dear Resident,
The month of
December has arrived jupiterlighthouse.org 561-747-8380
and t he hol iday 500 Captain Armour’s Way, Jupiter
celebrations have begun. Discover the Palm Beaches Florida
This year, whether you
are staying home for the
holidays or traveling to
spend time with family CAMPBELL AND KARLIK, P.A.
and friends, please
remember a few safety ATTORNEYS AT LAW
tips to ensure the safety
of yourself and your home and valuables:
• Lock all of your vehicle’s doors, even while you
are fueling. Wills • Trusts • Estate Planning • Probate
• Do not leave gifts and purchases visible in your
car. Taxation • Real Estate • Corporations
• Avoid flashing large amounts of cash when going
to pay for something.
• At night, always walk in well-lighted areas,
especially at shopping centers.
• Stay off your cell phone as you walk through
parking lots or streets when you are alone.
• Keep doors and windows closed and locked while
you are away from home and while you sleep.
• If you plan on traveling out of town for an
extended vacation, have a neighbor you know and
trust collect your mail or have the post office stop mail
delivery until you are back at home. An overstuffed
mailbox is a sign that you are out of town.
• Leave a light on inside your home, or set an
automatic timer for your lights if you go out at night,
or if you are out of town.
Stay healthy and stay safe, and I hope you have a
wonderful holiday season. Diane L. KarLiK
