Content: NEVER leave your keys in the I have watched people leave their car running and door unlocked while they run into a convenience store or post office, thus presenting the perfect opportunity for car thieves! Never leave valuables in plain site-be sure to lock them in the trunk, hide them under the seat, or stash them in the console or glove compartment. Don’t leave any paperwork showing personal information, such as your mail, bills, or residential parking permit, visible on the seat or dashboard—you don’t want to reveal your name, address, or where you live to a criminal by allowing them to read it through your car window. Taking the time to be alert and aware getting from point A to point B is the key. Many crimes have happened to people who were distracted and not paying attention to their surroundings. I have watched countless surveillance videos of purse snatchers, abductors, and car thieves brazenly attacking their victims in parking lots and garages. The common thread was that the victims were completely unaware of who was around them and what was happening until it was too late. So the next time you’re running to the mall for that great shoe sale, remember to take a moment to park safely and be aware of your surroundings going both to and from (hopefully with a few new pairs of cute stilettos) the store.
