While Shopping:
·Stay alert and be aware of everything around you.
·Be cautious of strangers soliciting for charitable donations. Ask for identification, how the donated funds will be used, etc.
·Park in a highly visible well-lit space. It may be daylight when you arrive at the mall, but by 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. it will be dark outside.
·Lock your vehicle both when driving and parked.
·Carry your purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket.
