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.

Roy,

This is great advice for any shopping area, city or burb.  And it bears repeating, because many times people are SO stressed, they lose their minds.  LOL A

Those are really good tips and reminders, Roy!  Crowds coupled with the distractions of the season, can make for a hotbed of criminal activity.

A great reminder, Roy.  In the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping it's to easy to forget about one's safety.
