Mall Shopping... Purse Snatching!

Fashion aside for the moment...



When you're shopping 'the mall'  this holiday season, please think about this... go prepared... purse snatchers are there looking for the next victim.  How?... Just go with only the essentials.  Carry only the credit cards you're going to use that day... and contrary to what you may think, don't carry your bag diagonally across your shoulder, the thief will get your bag anyway and pull you off balance or worse... I know the kids are a distraction, but be aware of your surroundings.   It's not a bad idea to carry a whistle or personal alarm in your coat pocket so if they attempt to snatch you can scare them off... but most important... stuff is replaceable you're not!!!



Of course if you're shopping online... that's another kind of thief and another blog...




Just remember this holiday season that many more families are hungry, so do a food shopping with that in mind.   If you have the means give generously, especially this year...
