Hide Christmas presents from kids and thieves this season

KAMLOOPS - Xboxes, Barbies and ugly Christmas sweaters can be exciting for shoppers during the holiday season, but they can also be a big red target if left behind in vehicles in plain sight.

The city wants to remind Kamloops shoppers to protect their goodies while shopping this holiday season. Shopping malls, parking lots and curb-side parking are an easy target for thieves.

The city's community safety department is running the 'Out of Sight' campaign again this year to educate consumers to secure their valuables while shopping.

Stickers are being handed out to convey the message, and residents can use them as a chance to win prizes on the city website.
