Safety should always be the #1 priority when at a parking lot or garage. The following safety tips will help insure your safety:

- Keep valuables out of site. This also applies while you are in your car.
- Drive with the car doors locked and all windows closed.
- If possible, park in an area that is well lit
- If possible, park near an exit or parking attendant station
- If you need to leave your keys with an attendant, leave only the car key.
- Walk in the center, where applicable, and do not display concern.
- When returning to your car, be aware that sometimes thieves hide inside vehicles.
- Be alert since crooks often strike those who are not paying attention. This applies to when you are inside your car, in addition to when you are outside.
- Lock the car door and start the car moving quickly.
