Said period is the prime time for holiday travel and shopping and seasons like this is the favorite of thieves. Last year, over 1.2 million vehicles were stolen causing over $7 billion in losses the information was divulged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The holiday season is the perfect time for thieves to roam around and accomplish their plans. This time of the year, mall parking lots are filled due to the lengthened store hours. Also, families are excited to pack up for one memorable travel. Moreover, authorities are warning the people to take necessary precautions to avoid theft.

Authorities have also given steps to secure your vehicle against auto theft. First, you must always lock your car and roll up the windows when the vehicle is parked. Second, never forget to bring with you your car keys. Third, avoid hiding your car keys around the car for it will be easy for thieves to search for them. When parking inside a commercial lot or garage, give only the ignition key to the attendant. Fourth, cover your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Thieves can use the number to get a duplicate key. Finally, invest in additional theft protection auto accessories and devices. Be sure that the codes are unalterable.

    Don't mess around and pickup the rental at DIA and be done.

  2. First
    Not everyone celebrates Easter and is of Christian faith. New York is one of the most diverse places in the world. Some people celebrate but will also attend the show. No where in the bible says that you should not attend the Autoshow because of Easter. There are no restrictions on what you can do on Easter Sunday as long as it is not sinful and I do believe attending the Autoshow is not a sinful act.

    Second
    The Autoshow is an international tour. It begins in Detroit and moves from city to city. As well, Jacob Javitz has traditionally been scheduled for other events…. The motorcycle show is the first two week of January. There are other shows like the home show, the consumer electronics show that are in there as well.

    Third
    Sales are not down on Easter. I'm sure if it was nonexistent they would have changed it. Don't you? NY Autoshow is one of the best attended autoshows in North America. Most people can only go to the show on Saturday or Sunday since they work M to F….

    First you need to do the burglary mission with 'Rider'. After the mission all you need to do is find a van, hop in and wait till midnight until a text box Tell's you that you can do the burglary mission.

    I recommend finding a van between a group of large buildings across the street from you first girlfriend.
    If you don't have one the its across the street between the first gym and the grove street bridge.

  4. few things to consider…

    1. how long are you going to be gone? if it's a week or less, just don't feed them. this sounds harsh but fish are not like humans. they can go a lot longer without food without any ill effects. just imagine in the wild… fish do not have someone feeding them everyday. this is why fish will eat until they explode. they are "programmed" to eat as much as they can because they don't know when the next meal is coming. feed them the normal amount of food right before you go and right when you come home.

    2. if you're going to be gone over a week you might want a block feeder, but a better option would be to have someone come over and feed them. if that is not an option make sure the feeder you go is NOT CHALKY… the chalky kind have all kinds of stuff in them that will gunk up your tank and you quite possibly come home to dead fish :(

    instead… find the GEL vacation feeders. these have a lot less nasty things in them, pretty much just gel and food.

  5. If you "need to know" then get a Beckett Guide and look it up like every other person over the age of 6.

    What is it with you idiots who come in here asking these questions? You NEVER get a real answer in here anyway. You get morons making guesses so you end up wasting your time, their time and our time for reading it. Get a Beckett and quit wasting everyone's time.

    Your U.S. insurance is just as valid in Canada as it is there. Same for Canadians driving in the States. By the way, Allstate operates in Canada as well.
