Protect yourself when shopping by following these tips:
• Don’t carry more than absolutely necessary in a purse.
• Be alert and walk with a purpose. The bad guys seek ...
distracted, inattentive shoppers. If possible, shop with a friend (Ideally having a man with you is best) – there is safety in numbers.
• Carry a cell phone and be prepared to call the police in case of an emergency.
• Thieves often scout food courts. Don’t leave unattended handbags, gifts, etc.
• Don’t leave valuables, packages, and recent purchases in plain sight in the vehicle.
• Pay attention to surroundings and if uncomfortable, go back to the store or mall and ask to be escorted by security.
• Park vehicles in a well-lit area. Have keys ready and look over your car as you approach it to make sure everything is OK. Pepper spray might also be a good precaution to take if you feel comfortable with using it.
