Tips for parking decks/lots (prime territory for criminals):-Park in a well lit area or by the entrance of the shopping center.-Check on the side, underneath and inside of your car.-Get off of your cell phone.-Carry your keys in your hand rather than digging through your purse.
Tips for Black Friday/holiday shopping-Have an escape plan and a pre-determined meeting place with family.-Crowds are dangerous – small scuffles can turn dangerous and close quarters are prime pickpocketers. Throw in the towel if a situation becomes uncomfortable.-Pay attention to your surroundings, not toy ABC, and don’t ignore someone who is behaving oddly.
