Remember this great safety tip: You know to never leave packages, gifts or valuables in plain view inside your vehicle – but also remember to place your belongings in your trunk before reaching your destination. Don’t let criminals know there are valuables present!

Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings.

Park in well-lighted areas and shop with a friend.

Don’t overburden yourself with packages.

Avoid going to the ATM late at night or early in the morning.
