How to Insure Your Safety in Parking Areas and Ramps


Parking lots are the scene for many muggings. Before you park your auto, keep in mind these guidelines:

Place valuable items and packages in the trunk or out of view prior to arriving at your destination.

Drive with your doors locked and windows closed. Keep your wallet and purse out of view while driving. Do not leave them next to you on the car seat. If you have the option, choose a lot or ramp that
is lighted up. Park in a well-lighted area of the lot or ramp.

When you can, park your car as closely as possible to an exit in a ramp, or near the attendant's office in a lot.

If you must leave your key with attendant, leave only your car key. Check parking ramp or lot for security measures, such as video cameras and regular patrols.

Do not leave any valuable items where they can be seen from outside the vehicle. Keep your parking stub.

Walk in the middle of the ramp roadway. Display a confident and alert.attitude.

Look around and inside your vehicle prior to unlock the door and get in. Lock your door quickly and start your engine and get the car going as soon as possible.

If you are being followed while driving, go to the nearest police or fire station and honk your horn. Carry your cell phone, and call 911. Do not drive home or pull over to the side of the road.

Keeping safe is being on guard and using common sense.
