The next thing you want to do is carry your purse or bag close to your body. Your wallet may be inside a coat or maybe your wallet in your front pocket. Thats a really good idea. Check the back seat and around the car before going in, tell a Security Guard or a store employee if you see an unattended bag. Dont leave your package or valuables inside your car where its visible.
