Lost a Child in the Shopping Centre/Mall- Do This
Missing Kids: It’s easy for parents/guardian to lose hold of their kids in the shopping centre, especially around the playground area (if any) toy stores etc. If you can’t find your child in a shopping centre, please don’t panic! Your child is most likely still in the shopping centre, 99% of the time you will parents get reunited with their child.
What to do; go into the closest store and ask the retailer to help you with the shopping centre security phone number, customer service desk or centre management; the moment you report your missing child to the retail security guard, they will take over the search, also centre cleaners will be informed to join the hunt too. If a customer or retailer happens to find your child, the shopping centre security will be alerted; the shopping centre security guard will then reunite you both.
Make sure you always stay with security while the search for your child is going on, if you insist on searching solo, leave your contact details with the retail security guards, so they can call and inform you once your child has been found. If after 15 minutes your child is still not found, most likely the Police will be notified.

Lost a Phone in the Shopping Centre What Should I do?
Mobile Phone: I am sure most of us have watched funny mobile ‘phone’s zombies’ videos online, it’s no different in the shopping centre, you see a lot of patrons with their head buried in their phone and they end up bumping into other shoppers, retail stores etc. Please if you must use your phone, use it in a way it won’t be of safety concern to you or other shoppers.

Lost and stolen phones: I have seen a lot of opportunistic mobile phone thieves in the shopping centre. The unfortunate targets are the latest and expensive iPhones or Samsung phones, the food court table is one of the top spot patrons forget their mobile phones after eating, and if you’re not so lucky the wrong person finds it, they will take it home with them, so please hold your phone tight.
Lost your Car in the Shopping Centre Do This:
Car Park: I will start by saying, get anti-theft number plate screws from Bunnings. Criminals sometimes steal number plates from customers cars parked at the shopping centre car park. Also, get motion sensor dash cams from JB Hifi and install them in your car. A lot of accidents and car scratching often happen at shopping centres, and most offending drivers never leave their details and drive-off, some shopping centres don’t have as many cameras around the car park.
Another car park advice, when at the shopping centre always park your car where you think the camera is facing toward your car in case anything happens to your vehicle the CCTV camera would most like have captured the incident.
