Don't park next to a van's sliding door.
Change from high heels to low flats or even sneakers when leaving work. They are better to run in.

Approach your vehicle with your keys already in your hand.
Look around your vehicle for any suspicious activity. If you see someone loitering around your vehicle, walk past until they leave.
