1. Protect Your Personal Belongings
Keep your wallet, phone, and keys in a zipped bag close to your body.
Don't carry large amounts of cash; use cards or mobile payments instead.
2. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings
Crowded stores can create opportunities for pickpocketing.
Avoid distractions like looking at your phone while walking.
3. Park Smart
Park in well-lit, high-traffic areas.
Lock your doors and hide shopping bags out of sight (trunk or covered).
4. Shop With a Buddy
There's safety in numbers, especially during early-morning or late-night sales.
5. Be Patient in Crowds
Rushing can lead to accidents and injuries.
Follow store guidance, posted signage, and stay calm in congested areas.
6. Protect Your Kids
Agree on a meeting spot if you get separated.
Keep small children close, preferably in carts or holding hands.
