Here are some safety tips when you are out and about shopping this holiday season:
When out at the malls and stores shopping, lock your car doors and take valuables with you.
When storing items purchased at the stores, place them out of sight. The best place is in a locked trunk.
If you shop at night, park in well-lighted areas close to an entrance.
When walking through the parking lot, be especially aware of your surroundings.
Do not approach your car alone if there are suspicious people standing by it. Ask mall or store security for an escort before leaving your shopping location.
Always have your car keys out and ready when you leave the store.
Deter pickpockets. Carry your purse close to your body or your wallet inside a coat or front trouser pocket.
If you are shopping with children, make a plan in case you are separated from each other
