Marysville Fire District: [PHONE REDACTED] or marysvillefiredistrict.org/ ---PAGE BREAK--- Holiday shopping tips from the Marysville Police Stay alert to your surroundings. Walk confidently and stay in well-lit, well- traveled areas. Pay particular attention in crowded malls and stores. Park close to the entrance in a well-lit area. Always close your car windows and lock the doors. Keep your purse close to or strapped across your body. Close it and never leave it unattended in a shopping cart, dressing room or restroom. Keep your wallet in a front pants pocket or inside coat pocket. Putting a rubber band around your wallet makes it more difficult to remove without your knowledge. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Instead pay with a credit or debit card or with checks. Don’t leave anything of value in plain sight inside your car. If you take packages to your car trunk and plan to return to the store, drive to a different location in the parking lot. When returning to your car, have your key ready, keep your hands as free as possible and lock your doors immediately upon entry. Don’t put your purse on the roof while putting packages in the car. Stay alert and if you have concerns, return to the store and ask for an escort.
