## Resource

People are still getting robbed in public places trying to buy online deals—like at a Wawa in Williamsburg where a buyer met a stranger in the back parking lot, only to be robbed with a gun. Surveillance caught it all. The sheriff’s solution? “Safe exchange zones” at police stations where transactions happen under camera eyes—no robberies reported in Hampton Roads using them. Stay safe, stay smart, and use these spots next time you’re dealing with strangers online. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
