CRIME PREVENTION TIP OF THE WEEK
WHEN RETURNING TO YOUR CAR, HAVE YOUR KEYS READY SO YOU CAN ENTER YOUR CAR QUICKLY AND BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. IF YOU HAVE TO LOOK INTO A PURSE OR A POCKET TO FIND THEM, IT TAKES EXTRA TIME AND YOU LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT IS AROUND YOU, WHICH COULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO SNEAK UP ON YOU.
