Holiday Advice From The Gaithersburg Police Department

 

The Gaithersburg Police Department would like to remind citizens who are out shopping this holiday season to please keep in mind the following:

Do not become distracted by your shopping. Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Park in well-lit parking lots and park as close to the mall or store as possible.

Lock your car doors and keep packages hidden in the trunk or under the seats of your vehicle.

Do not carry large amounts of cash with you, and pay with checks or credit cards when possible.

Ensure that you are not encumbered with a large number of packages. Try to make trips back to your vehicle to store packages in the trunk as you continue to shop.

Carry your closed purse as close to your body as possible.

Carry a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket.

This notice was provided by the City of Gaithersburg and is posted on ActiveRain as a community service.  Character counts in Gaithersburg.

This is the time of year we hear about parking lot incidences. It is good that you put out these reminders to stay safe. Happy Thanksgiving.

At 7 p.m. on Sunday in the east, it became Monday on ActiveRain. I have been awarded points over the weekend but am still not receiving notifications on comments even though I am receiving other notifications. Other members report that they have not been awarded points over the Thanksgiving weekend.
