Keep your Electronics Safe with Tips From BBB
UNDATED - College and high school students are back in school, and many will carry their electronics everywhere from the classroom to the car. Here's a look at some reminders about ways to keep your electronics like laptops and smartphones out of the wrong hands.
College and high school campuses, cafeterias, local hang outs and even classrooms can be an easy target for those looking to snatch expensive electronic devises.
