DO not let thieves unwrap your Christmas presents before you do -- police have warned Droitwich residents.
A Christmas tree sparkling in the window, surrounded by goodies, is a tempting invitation to the burglar.
Town police are reminding householders to give home and vehicle security extra consideration during the festive period.
PC Claire Ryan said: "Whether your valuables are in a car or in your home, never leave them on show.
"Always use the security that you have on the car, put shopping out of sight in the boot and consider where you park.
"If possible, always try to do your shopping all in one go, going to and from your car with shopping bags could alert the attention of a passing opportunist thief."
