CREEPER DEFENSE

CREEPER DEFENSE

Police and security experts say that vigilance is the best way to guard against office creepers — people who invade workplaces to steal items from desks and purses. Here are tips to protect your possessions:

Keep your valuables locked in a desk drawer while at work, even if you are away for only a short time. Creepers tend to be fast-working thieves.

If you aren’t planning to use a credit card, don’t carry it. And why carry 15 cards daily when you almost always rely on just one or two?

Don’t allow someone you don’t recognize to piggyback on your entrance when you open a secure door. Trust your instincts and report what you see promptly.

Is that a creeper? Is he loitering in halls or common areas? Going in and out of multiple offices quickly?
