However, it only takes a second to change joyful feelings into unpleasant ones. Cooking fires, vandalized cars, stolen gift cards, etc. can bring havoc to an otherwise peaceful holiday. Here are a few tips from local Police Departments to help have a safe Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In The\u00a0Kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most cooking fires start when no one is watching the oven or stove. Stay in the kitchen when food is broiling, grilling or frying.<\/li>\n<li>Keep potholders, towels, and curtains away from the stovetop.<\/li>\n<li>Consider a kid-free zone where children cannot run or distract the chefs.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t let loose clothing catch fire.<\/li>\n<li>If a small grease fire does start, use a mitt or pan lid to cover it and turn off the burner.<\/li>\n<li>If something in your microwave catches fire, turn it off immediately and keep the door closed.<\/li>\n<li>If food in your oven catches fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.<\/li>\n<li>When in doubt, call 911.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The average number of cooking fires triples on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the Store<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be aware of your surroundings in crowded parking lots.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your vehicle locked and park in well-lit areas.<\/li>\n<li>Keep packages, your GPS and phone in your trunk.<\/li>\n<li>If you feel threatened, press the panic button on your set of keys.<\/li>\n<li>If your car was robbed, turn around and call the police. Officers need to know immediately to locate a suspect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>At the mailbox and on the computer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A raised flag lets thieves know there is mail in the box. They will search for cash, gift cards and checks.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to watch for any unusual activity at other mailboxes in your neighborhood.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t post information on social websites announcing you are leaving home on a certain day or time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>At the ATM<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be aware of anyone in the area of the ATM. If you are uncomfortable, you can go to another location.<\/li>\n<li>Never carry your PIN numbers with your bank cards.<\/li>\n<li>Make copies of all credit and bank cards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your evening plans are free, we still have seats available for our <strong>special Thanksgiving Day show<\/strong> at <a href=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\"><strong>Capone&#8217;s Dinner &amp; Show.<\/strong><\/a> Your entire family will enjoy the show and it is <strong>safe<\/strong> for kids of all ages to attend. <em>Be safe this Thanksgiving!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few tips from the Clearwater and Winter Haven Police Departments to help have a safe Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[330],"tags":[985,986,981],"class_list":["post-3834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-holiday-specials","tag-holiday-safety","tag-thanksgiving-day-plans","tag-things-to-do-with-family-this-thanksgiving"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
