What's open and closed on Memorial Day?
In what had long been celebrated every May 30 to honor America's fallen soldiers, Memorial Day officially became a federal holiday in 1971, observed on the last Monday in May. Businesses increasingly have chosen to stay open, leading to what is now one of the biggest retail sales and travel weekends of the year. Here's what is open and closed this year on Memorial Day: GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS Government offices, post offices, courts and schools are closed. BANKS AND MARKETS U.S. stock markets and banks are closed Monday. Most FedEx and UPS pickup and delivery services will also not be available on Memorial Day, though some special services will be accessible. RETAILERS Warehouse membership club Costco will be closed on Memorial Day, but the vast majority of retailers will be open, with many trying to lure customers with big promotional sales. Hours may vary by location. TRAVEL Memorial Day is also considered the unofficial opening of the summer travel season. Americans are expected to get away in record numbers over the long Memorial Day weekend even as economic and technical worries rattle the U.S. travel industry. Auto club AAA projects that more than 45 million people — 1.4 million more than last year — will venture at least 50 miles from their homes between Thursday and Monday, with the vast majority going by car. The holiday's previous domestic travel record of 44 million people was set 20 years ago. AAA's fuel tracker shows motorists can expect to pay less for gasoline this year. The U.S. average price on Wednesday was $3.18 for a gallon of regular gas compared to $3.60 a year ago. AAA projects 39.4 million people will travel by car over the weekend — the highest number for that holiday since AAA began tracking it in 2000 — and that another 3.61 million people will travel by air, a nearly 2% increase over last year's 3.55 million. Air safety has been on the minds of travelers after a midair collision in January of a passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter above Washington, D.C. killed 67 people. There have also been some close calls. In recent weeks, flight delays and cancellations stemming from an air traffic controller shortage and equipment failures at a facility that directs aircraft in and out of the Newark, New Jersey, airport have also made some people reluctant to get on a plane.

5 Security hacks to prevent car theft
In the past five years, over 220 000 households have experienced car thefts. This is according to 2023/24 Stats SA's Victims of Crime (VoC) report which highlight the surge in car theft rates. Experts from Zego have offered five tips to help drivers protect their vehicles during the busy travel season. Five tips to keep your car safe from theft 1. Use a steering wheel lock It is simple, but effective! A steering wheel lock is a visible deterrent that makes it harder and slower to steal a car, especially for thieves using relay technology. Bonus Tip: Hook your seatbelt through the wheel as a backup if you don't have a lock! It's not foolproof but adds an extra layer of hassle for thieves.

Etch your VIN into all windows Having your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) chemically etched into every window makes your car traceable and less attractive to thieves. Replacing all windows is costly, and many buyers avoid VIN-etched cars due to their traceability. You can get this done at an auto-shop or buy an online DIY kit and do it yourself. 3. Beware of illegal tow trucks Criminal gangs have been known to use unmarked or fake tow trucks to steal vehicles in broad daylight. If a tow truck seems suspicious (e.g. no uniform, an unbranded truck), take photos, ask for ID and report them immediately.

Protect your car from key hacking A lot of car thefts happen through key hacking, which is why it's crucial to take necessary steps to minimise the chances of that happening. There are a few measures you can take: Disable your keyless car entry - In most cases you should be able to disable it on your own through the infotainment system, the instrument cluster or the key fob, but it's best to contact your car manufacturer first to get specific instructions for your particular vehicle. Signal-block your car keys - Using a pouch to store your keys in is the most efficient way to do so, as its metallic material lining helps block radio-frequency signals. Place your keys away from doors and windows - Storing your keys near entry points in your home increases the chances of thieves intercepting the signal from your key fob - keep them further inside to minimise the risk. 5. Turn your wheels to the curb when parking Another simple yet overlooked deterrent - turn your wheels sharply toward the curb when parking. Doing so makes it harder for thieves to quickly tow or roll your car away and adds resistance for anyone trying to jack up the car and remove the wheels.
