We are putting together a list of tips for our community of safe practices and practical ideas in general.
Example: When getting money from an ATM, especially at night, once you get your money, roll up your window and drive away. You can count your money later seeing there is no one there to assist you anyway, except maybe a robber. You can call the banks customer service number later to resolve any problems.

It seems obvious, but, don't walk alone at night. Always have a friend with you. I can't believe how many people I see walking alone while I'm driving at night. Not a very safe thing to do these days.
Also, if you have to walk alone at night(ex.-to your car after shopping), carry a loud alarm with you(in your hand!) so that if you feel threatened or someone attacks you, you can get the attention of anyone around at the press of a button.
Let your neighbors know if you are going on a vacation or will be gone for a few days. They can keep an eye out for suspicious activity and can check your mail for you. Nothing says "Hey, I'm not home so you can rob me!" more than a stuffed mailbox! You can do the same for them when they go on a trip.

Be constantly aware of everything and everyone around you at all times.
Always lock your doors and windows even if you're at home.
Install motion sensor security lights on the corners of your home.
When out and about always carry your wallet in a front pocket. Never carry a lot of money ever. Carry only one or two checks at a time. Carry only 1 credit card. Take all the rest out of your wallet and leave it at home in a safe place.
If you use a purse, make sure it is a style with a zipper & keep it closed. Keep the purse close to your body at all times underneath your arm & wear the strap across your body.
