Holiday Shopping Safety Tips



Black Friday is November 25th, and officially kicks off the holiday shopping season. Your safety and security while out shopping, enjoying the holiday festivities and entertaining should be high on your priority list.

Crank up your intuitive antenna this holiday season. Times are tough for many people and turning to crimes like personal robberies in easy locations - like the shopping malls or mall parking lots - are on the rise!!



Seven Simple Tips For Mall Parking Lot Safety During The Holiday Season

1. Be aware and alert to your surroundings at all times as you are going to your car. Notice who is hanging around the parking lot - especially at night. If you are talking on your cell phone or texting and not paying attention to what's going on around you, you are exactly the person the perpetrator is looking to attack.

2. Have your keys in your hands and be prepared to use your them as a weapon if you are assaulted or attacked. Your keys can be a good weapon to ward off an attacker if used appropriately. Walk to your car with confidence, be prepared, and have some type of personal protection.

3. As you near your car, only unlock the driver's side door with your remote. Wait until you are fairly close to your car before unlocking the doors. Don't give a lurking perpetrator the ability to quickly enter the passenger side of your car.

4. Before getting into your car (especially at night), check to make sure there is not someone hiding inside. Get into the habit of always locking your doors when exiting your car.

5. Don't leave your valuables unattended. This is a great time for the criminal to rip off your packages or your purse. Always be looking around and monitoring the situation. Remember these creeps are opportunistic -don't make it easy for them!!

6. If you're going to be shopping for a while, be sure to wear comfortable shoes...and that's not high heels, ladies! If you are attacked as you head to your car, you may not be able to get away in 3" stilettos. Nix the heels for some comfortable shoes. Think safety first.

7. Avoid parking near large vehicles or shrubbery or up close to a building - especially if you are by yourself.
