SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fast Guard Service: With the holiday season upon us, it's more important than ever for shoppers to stay vigilant and safe while enjoying their shopping experience. The holidays are a time of joy and celebration, but they also bring unique challenges and safety concerns. To ensure a secure and enjoyable shopping season for everyone, we are providing crucial safety tips for shoppers.

1. Stay Aware in Parking Lots: Parking lots can be busy and chaotic during the holidays. Always park in well-lit areas, be aware of your surroundings, and keep your car locked.
   
   
2. Protect Your Personal Belongings: Keep your purse or wallet close to your body. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and be discreet when using ATMs.
   
   
3. Shop During Daylight Hours: Whenever possible, do your shopping during daylight. If you must shop at night, go with a friend or family member.
   
   
4. Online Shopping Security: Ensure that you're buying from reputable websites. Use secure payment methods and avoid using public Wi-Fi for transactions.
   
   
5. Be Wary of Strangers: Be cautious of strangers approaching you for any reason. During this time of year, con artists may try various methods to distract you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.
   
   
6. Keep Children Safe: If shopping with children, teach them to go to a store clerk or security guard if they get separated.
   
   
7. Secure Your Purchases: Keep your purchases hidden in your vehicle, preferably in the trunk, to avoid temptations for thieves.
   
   
8. Be Patient and Courteous:** The holiday season can be stressful. Keep a positive attitude and be patient with store employees and other shoppers.
   
   
9. Stay Healthy: Remember to hydrate, eat healthily, and wear comfortable shoes. Amidst a pandemic, also remember to follow health guidelines, like wearing masks and social distancing.
   
   
10. Plan Ahead: Make a list of the items you need to buy and the stores you want to visit to minimize time spent in crowded places.

By following these simple but effective safety tips, shoppers can greatly reduce their risk of becoming a victim of theft or other holiday mishaps. Let's work together to make this holiday season a safe and joyous time for all.
