Purse Snatches at the Pumps
How often have you hopped out of your car to pump gas, leaving your purse on the passenger seat with the doors unlocked? What's the harm when you're right next to your vehicle? Plenty, especially if you drive an SUV. Thieves look for unsuspecting women occupied with filling up their tanks. They pull up next to your car, quickly crawl out of their driver's side, open your unlocked passenger door and snatch your purse. SUV's are favorites because of the obstructed view of the passenger side when you're gassing up.
Away they go in less than four seconds. You won't even realize your belongings are gone until your door swings open as you drive away. So, always lock your doors and close windows when you exit your car for any reason, even as simple as pumping gas. It sounds ridiculous, maybe even paranoid, but it'll be even more ridiculous when you're trying to repair your credit after the thief shreds it with your stolen identity from your purse. Watch this video to see the slick crooks in action.
