Always look behind you and to both sides when pulling out of a parking spot and remember to keep your headlights on until there is enough daylight out. *Create a game plan before shopping so you don’t get distracted by window displays or store advertisements while driving. Give yourself enough time to review ads and fl iers prior to going out to shop so that you know when doors open and where the store is located. *Park in well-lit areas and use a buddy system when possible. If you aren’t shopping with a friend and you feel uncomfortable taking your new purchases out to your car alone, ask for a security guard to escort you to your car. *Have your keys in hand. We’ve all been there – juggling packages, bags and purses while trying to remember where we parked the car and searching for keys tucked deep in a pocket or at the bottom of a purse. Avoid being caught o guard with your arms full or, worse, with your bags strewn around your vehicle, by fi shing out your keys before you head to your car. *Don’t leave your new purchases visible. Once you get home, you’ll likely be stashing away the your new purchases in attic crawlspaces or secret cupboards, away from prying eyes. It’s a good idea to keep them hidden in your car, too. Use the blankets you brought with you to keep warm in line to hide away your treasures in your car, if they can’t be tucked away into your trunk. ROBERT L.
