-Always carry your I.D.

-Shop during daylight hours when possible. If you have to shop at night, go with a friend. -Try not to carry a purse unless necessary. If you must carry a purse, always keep it in your grasp. Never hang it on the back of a chair or leave it in a buggy. -If you carry a wallet, keep it in a front pocket of your pants or jacket. -Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. -Pay with a debit or credit card when possible. This reduces the cash you have to carry and makes disputing fraudulent charges easier. -Be aware of where you park. Park in a lighted area if shopping at night. Look around the parking lot before exiting your car.
