Shopping in Stores

* Save all receipts. Print and save all confirmations from your online purchases. Start a file folder to keep all receipts together and to help you verify credit card or bank statements as they come in.

* Don’t flash the cash. Consider alternate options to pay for your merchandise, such as onetime or multiuse disposable credit cards or money orders, including at online stores.

* Wait until asked by a cashier before taking out your credit card or checkbook. An enterprising thief would love to shoulder surf to get your account information.

Walking to and From Your Car

* Deter pickpockets. Carry your purse close to your body or your wallet inside a coat or front trouser pocket.

* Have your keys in hand when approaching your vehicle. Check the back seat and around the car before getting in.
