My son wanted to install a GPS in my car - I am directionally challenged - I only seen it as an open invite for some one to break out my windows. It took him 6 months to find a tail light for my car. Lord only knows if I'd ever find a window. It always amazes me that during holiday shopping people have their cars stuffed with their purchases for all to see. My car has nothing in it except a local map and a road atlas. On days when I am doing lots of shopping with my Dad I only carry a wallet and everything goes in my trunk.

Us too Jan, don't want all that stuff. Younger people can't seem to live without it.

When I am going to the Post Office to mail envelopes or packages, if I stop anywhere first, I always turn the mail face down so my home address cannot be seen through the window. Never leave my phone or tablet in car and always lock car doors even in my own driveway.
Also, look for a parking spot at malls that does not have any cars or vans beside it. Shy away from covered parking. Can't be too careful these days.

It is legal to cut your address out of the insurance and registration papers. You can cut out the street and city and state and just leave your name. If you get stopped the police will run your drivers license and they will have your address, they might ask you to verify it. All you need is the registration number and proof of insurance. Never leave anything in your car that would cost you time, money and stress to replace. It's sad that we have to be inconvenienced to protect ourselves and homes in this day and age.

Our PO box is the address on our information for proof of insurance. And you are so right about stickers supporting schools. Another is a sticker on the back of some windows of those in the family with of all things the kids names and if there is a mommy and daddy. TMI can cause a lot of problems. I had my DGDs phone listed as "**** girls" I changed that quickly. I have paid for stickers but only as a donation. I let some one else buy the sticker.

Everyone should check their daily limit on their ATM card. I have both my savings and checking on my ATM card and found out by accident that my daily limit was $10,000! We had gone to look at a used car on the weekend and liked it but didn't have access to the $3,000 to pay for it until Monday - or so I thought! The car was an hour away from our house, so I went to the ATM to get a deposit for the car. Well I took $500 out, no problem, then tried again for another $500, and continued doing this with no problem! Got out the total $3,000 no problem. I was very upset because I didn't know how much more I could have taken out - what if someone had a gun to my head, or someone had gotten my card and pin number! I called the bank on Monday very upset and was told the limit was $10,000! WHAT??? I immediately told them to change it to a much lower amount. So beware, not all banks have a limit for ATM withdrawals set at small amounts.

I'm surprised that so many don't know the limit of their debit card withdrawals. The person should tell you when you open the account but sadly most can't think of anything more then getting your signature on the account and your money in their bank.

Hope someone learns something from my assumption and calls their bank.
