Today we explain how to safely transition from a public place, like a store, to your parked car. Depending on the neighborhood and time of day, this can be a risky proposition.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1) When you leave the store, pay attention your vehicle and its surrounding to make sure no unsavory characters are nearby. You can even illuminate it at night with your flashlight
2) If you feel uncomfortable for whatever reason, trust your gut and go back into the store
3) Don’t be embarrassed, but have security or a store manager escort you to your car. You can even call the police if you are very concerned.

And remember – confidence comes from being prepared!
