• Go plastic. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
  • Hold onto debit & credit receipts with a tight grip. Some of them have your financial information on them!
  • Put up a fight. Keep your handbag zipped and your wallet close to you to deter leering eyes.
  • Don’t leave your shopping cart’s side. It’s cold and dangerous without you there to guard it.
  • Have a cell phone on hand for emergencies, but don’t allow it to distract you from suspicious characters.
