Before your enter your car - remember to check the cargo area

Some time has passed by since the Town Center Mall murders so we tend to relax.

My advise is don't.

It's cooled off enough now so someone with bad intentions could wait in your car until you return. During the day because of dark windows, it's impossible to see if anyone is in the back seat or cargo area.

Don't count on locked doors or a security system as an absolute guarantee that your car is secure.

Gluing a flat mirror to the ceiling over the cargo area is an easy, inexpensive way to prevent someone from hiding in your car...you would see a reflection in the mirror as soon as you open the car door.

Or open the back door open and leave it open - then open the cargo area. With both areas clearly visible, an intruder cannot slide over the seat from one area to the other.

Remember - before you or your child(ren) get in the car, check both the back seat and cargo area. It's so much better to be safe than sorry.
