La Cañada Marbella - Safety Guide

As with many shopping centres, La Cañada alike does sometimes have light-fingered persons on it´s premises. Of late, there have been a couple of incidences which I have heard of, that warrant acknowledgment by shoppers. As with many situations common sense is the way forward, don´t get into a state of ecstasy over the fantastic purchases you have made and then forget your personal safety. Some pointers on things you can do as a shopper for personal safety:

1. Keep your handbag closed when being carried.


2. If you do break for a coffee, link the bag to your arm or chair leg. Even better hold it on your lap.


3. Do not advertise you have just withdrawn 1000€ in 20€ notes by counting it in the open.


4. For men especially, if you bump or collide with another person, maybe check your wallet pocket subtly, just in case.


5. When loading your vehicle, try to keep all items with you when loading the car. A good idea is to load all items into the boot and most modern cars allow the boot only to be opened as an option.

These are only a few things that you could do to boost your personal security whilst shopping. Being alert and aware of your surroundings is free and surprisingly easy.
I should also point out that La Cañada does have security on premises, CCTV and a visual presence, but they cannot be everywhere at once.

As you would anywhere in the world, remember be safe by being sensible.
