car keys sitting in the ignition of a locked car. Help yourself: • Ask for help. Never hesitate to ask for an escort if you feel the least bit uncomfortable about walking to your car alone. Many shopping centers employ uni- formed professionals whom they have hired to assist with problems either in the center or the park- ing area All you have to do is ask • Travel light. Take advantage of shopping center lockers, as well as package- and coat-checking services. It's less tiring and you're much more likely to come home with everything you've bought.
