  3. Notice where local police stations, fire stations, and other important facilities are located.
  4. Stick to well lit, more populated routes when walking to a destination.
  5. Carry all bags and belongings close to your body.
  6. Park your car around other cars or under lamp posts.
  7. Keep car doors locked and windows rolled up when exiting your vehicle.
  8. Never pick up hitchhikers. Similarly, never hitchhike.
  9. Whenever possible, travel via train, subway, or bus with someone else.
  10. Never head home if you feel that you are being followed.
