Shopping Safety Tips
1. Only carry the credit cards, cash, and checks that you need
when you go shopping.
2. Be very careful to hold on to your purse or wallet while you are
shopping. Also, don’t wear a lot of expensive jewelry.
3. Try to avoid driving alone at night. Travel on busy, well-lit
roads. Keep your doors and windows locked and closed. Try
to park as close as you can to the store. Don’t walk to your car
if you see suspicious people in the parking lot. Many stores
and malls will provide a security escort for you if you ask for
one.
4. Don’t overload yourself with packages. You need to be able to
easily walk and look around your environment. When you buy
something, put it in your trunk or hide it under a sheet or
blanket. Never leave your purchases in plain view in your car.
