Welcome to Springfield Town Center. As the holidays approach, we share with you our advice for a safe visit to our new mall.

Always park near a light or entrance.

Pay attention to your surroundings-don’t be distracted.

When shopping, save the most expensive things for last.

Only buy what you can carry unless you have a friend or store employee to help you carry things out to your vehicle.

Have your keys out and ready to go when you leave the store.

Consider disposable or re-loadable credit cards instead of shopping with cash or traditional credit cards or debit cards linked to your bank account.

If you see something suspicious, report it immediately to mall security, a store employee or police.

What's..."Springfield Mall"?

Springfield Town Center... looks like a mall, is enclosed like a mall, the employees call it a mall.

It's a mall.

Like Dulles Town Center. But less upscale.

Karen Straughn, who heads the new consumer protection office, says the first could be potentially dangerous.

Karen Straughn, who heads the new consumer protection office, says to watch for these scams:

"You come out to your car and you notice there's a $100 bill under your windshield wiper. And people go to get out of their car to get the $100 bill and get carjacked," Straughn says.

Beyond losing their car, Straughn says if there are kids in the car, it could escalate the severity of the situation.

Another dangerous scam was reported recently, Straughn says. It involved a suspect yelling for help in a mall parking lot, then attempting to grab the potential victim. Police were called.

WTF are you dumb pussies talking about. There zero crime at Springfield Mall. Zero. You people are stupid. Shut the fuck up. Get a life.
