Insidertips om Memphis

Lock Your Car!

Reportedly, Memphis has high auto theft and vehicle break-in rates, so be sure to lock your car doors when you leave a vehicle unattended. Don’t leave valuables like a purse, briefcase, or clothing exposed on the seats; lock these items in the trunk or push them under the seat where they can’t be seen. When possible, try to park in a well-lit area with lots of other cars. Avoid traveling alone in unknown or unsafe Memphis neighborhoods or out-of-the-way areas after dark. « skjul

Nighttime Driving in Memphis

Like any other city, Memphis has its share of questionable neighborhoods and high-crime areas. Stay in well-populated centers and places of business or entertainment after dark. If you must go out alone at night, stay aware of your surroundings when you get out of the car to shop, fuel the car, or ask directions; try to do these things during the day. Beware of pickpockets around key sites like Graceland, though many attractions close by dark. It’s always a good idea to plan ahead to avoid getting lost at night. « skjul
