Wood-Ridge NJ, Wood-Ridge Police Department reminds everyone to be on alert! With the holiday season approaching, “porch pirates” are out more than ever due to the increase in deliveries around town. Some tips for preventing these kinds of theft include: choose in store pickup, bring your packages inside as soon as possible, have a visible security camera and/or video doorbell. If you see someone actively stealing a package… DO NOT confront them. Call police, while obtaining as much of a description as possible including clothing they’re wearing, make/model/color of vehicle they’re using, direction they headed after the theft. Also, we cannot say this enough… make sure your vehicle doors are locked, key fob is not left inside, and valuables are out of sight.

Ridgewood NJ, when would you say Christmas officially begins? Is it straight after Thanksgiving, when we start thinking about the next turkey to land on our plate? Is it when the first decorations appear in stores (and, let’s face it, some start showing up the minute the Halloween pumpkins are put away)? Some mark it by the first sound of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” going on heavy rotation on the radio, or showings of movies such as Elf, A Muppet Christmas Carol, or Home Alone appearing on TV schedules. So, is it possible to pinpoint an actual day that feels the most like Christmas is beginning?
