Parking Lot Safety


Here are just a few safety tips for parking your car in a public or private parking lot.

Always lock the car and roll up the windows all the way. If you have any valuables or packages, lock them in the trunk.

If you're staying late, park the car near an exit or the attendant, not in the area that will be empty and remote when you leave.

As you approach the car, have your keys ready and check the seats before getting in.

You might also ask the security guard or a coworker to escort you to your car.

By taking a common sense attitude towards ones security, owners and users can both greatly increase the safety of the parking lot. It may not be heaven, but at least it will be crime free.
