Keep safety in mind
Don't lose sight of crime prevention precautions in the chaos of moving. Here are some pointers from the St. Louis Park Police Department

• Don't give burglars clues about your belongings. Avoid piling valuables where they can be seen from windows and doors.
• Boxes from TVs, stereos, etc. should be broken and turned inside out for disposal.
• Make sure locks have been re-keyed.
• If you don't have window coverings that fully cover windows, buy some or just hang sheets in the interim.
• Apartment dwellers should write only their last name and first initial on their mail box.
• As you're unpacking, create a list of valuable property for insurance purposes. If you haven't already joined Operation ID, now's a great time to join. Then you can engrave your belongings as you put them away. (To join, just visit the St. Louis Park Police Station, 3015 Raleigh Ave. S. between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, or between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Friday. You'll be given an engraving pen and national ID number.)
