Choose parking spots near stores, in well-lit and visible areas. Whenever possible, opt for a spot within the view of a security camera.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Store gifts in the trunk if your car has one. Avoid leaving them on the back seats or in plain view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Try to buy all your gifts in one shopping center. This reduces the risk of moving gifts from one place to another and being exposed to potential theft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If visiting multiple stores, place gifts in the trunk before heading to the next location. Avoid transferring items to the trunk after arriving at a new store, as this might alert thieves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Ensure all doors and windows are securely closed before leaving your vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
