• Don't carry too many bulky packages at one time.
• If you get lost, don't act like it.
• If you're alone and someone stops to ask for directions, act as if someone is coming to join you. Keep your distance and look for a place to go in a hurry.
• If you think you're being followed, do an about-face, cross the street or duck into a store and call police.
• If you're going out at night, stay with a group in lighted, busy areas.
• If you're on a sidewalk bordered by bushes, trees or dark doorways, walk close to the street.
• Any time you are in danger, make as much noise as you can to attract attention.
