Shopping Safely*Keep valuable items stored in cars out of sight. Stash shopping bags and GPS navigators in car trunks.
*Hold on to purses, wallets and credit cards. Purses should be zipped up and held close to the body. Don't throw out credit-card receipts because thieves can make purchases with the card numbers.
*Pay attention to surroundings.
*Before reaching a car, stop a few feet away and check out the area. Make sure no one is lurking close behind. Keep keys in hand.
*Parents: Keep both eyes on your children. Hold their hands, have them hold on to your pocket or even put them on a short leash.
*Report suspicious activity. If you're being followed or see people circle the parking lot on foot, call mall security immediately.
