When going out shopping
Go with family or friends.
Lock your doors when getting into your car.
Leave expensive jewelry at home.
Keep your purse close to your body, no dangling straps or wear a waist belt..
Don’t park next to vans or trucks that don’t have windows in the sides or rear.
Lock your car and note your location.
Always walk purposefully, keeping aware of your environment.
Do not walk out of the stores until you:
- Remember where your car is parked.
- Have car keys or vehicle remote in your hand
Put your packages in your trunk. Out of sight, out of mind.
Get into your car and immediately lock the doors.
Check your rear view mirrors occasionally to make sure no one is following you home.
Note: Criminals look for unsuspecting victims. Example: the shopper carrying packages, fumbling for car keys in a dangling purse, trying to remember where the car is parked and talking on a cell phone not paying attention to your surroundings. Be aware of your surroundings and stay alert.
