Safety Tips:
IF IT’S VALUABLE TO YOU, KEEP IT ON YOU!! Most credit card thieves stake out high traffic areas looking for purses or bags left unattended. It takes them only seconds to remove your bag or strip your wallet from it.
Do not become complacent. Not everyone working out in the gym or sitting in Wagshall’s has your best interests in mind.
