2 = If feeling unsafe due to suspicious activity, wait a minute or ask a store clerk for help.

3 = Lock your car door immediately upon re-entering and avoid distractions like checking your phone.

4 = Consider using stick-up mirrors in the back of your car for better visibility when loading groceries.

5 = Load your car without distractions and maintain awareness of your surroundings. If feeling unsafe, call 911.

6 = When loading the passenger area of your car, avoid leaning all the way in and keep your foot on the floorboard for leverage.

8 = If you have kids, let them know to alert you if someone approaches while your back is turned to the public.
