Safety tip for purse-holding people. Use the child safety belt in the shopping cart — when a child is not using it — for your purse.

This, of course, will not totally prevent a purse snatching, but it will not be a grab and run unless they can also take the cart. If your wallet is sitting on top of your purse, this will not help the situation. Make sure your purse is closed or at the very least, the wallet is at the bottom.
