    Protect Yourself Against Theft


    Theft can happen at any time….even while at the park. Don’t be a victim!

    When faced with any theft situation, your goal is to avoid being injured! There is nothing in your purse or wallet that is worth serious injury or death.

    • Is it absolutely necessary to carry a purse at all times?  A wallet or credit card in a pocket would be less tempting. 

    • Carry only the amount of cash or credit cards that you need. 

    • Eliminate spare keys from purse. 

    • Carry purse or shoulder bag in front of you and close to your body.

    • Avoid having your purse shoulder straps around your neck or looped around your wrist. 

    • Zip or close purse securely to avoid purses pickpockets.

    If you park your vehicle in a parking lot at a park (or otherwise), do not leave your purse or anything else of value visible or “out in the open.”
