Return To Ramps Article Archive   Search the Article Archives How to Insure Your Safety in Parking Areas and Ramps By SecuritySafetySpy.com Parking lots are the location for many muggings. Before you park your car, keep in mind these guidelines: Place valuables and packages in the trunk or out of sight prior to arriving at your destination. Drive with your car doors locked and windows shut. Keep your billfold and purse out of sight while driving. Do not leave them next to you on the car seat. If you have the option, choose a parking lot or ramp that is lighted up. Park in a illuminated area of the lot or ramp. When you can, park your car as closely as possible to an exit in a ramp, or near the attendants office in a lot. If you must leave your key with attendant, leave only your car key. Check parking ramp or lot for security protection, such as video cameras and security patrols. Do not leave any valuables where they can be seen from outside the car. Keep your parking receipt. Walk in the middle of the ramp roadway. Display a unconcerned and positive attitude. Most people believe that once they get to their cars they are safe. This is not true, because your vehicle may offer a place for thieves to conceal themselves. When you get to your car, take time to observe around and behind you. Stay alert and dont forget your situation. When crooks see that you have lost track of where you are and seem distracted they are more likely to strike. Look inside and around your car before you unlock the door and get in. Lock your door immediately and start your engine and get the car going as soon as possible. If you are being followed while driving, go to the nearest police or fire station and honk your horn. Carry your cell phone, and call 911. Do not drive home or pull over to the side of the street.
