Thank you for posting this. I'm a paranoid New Yorker so I do most of these things anyway, but a lot of folks are a lot more trusting than I am, and I don't want to see any of them (or myself!) showing up as a statistic.
I would add, if you know it will be dark when you're returning to your car (you have to work late, or it's winter and the sun sets before you leave work, etc) park your car under a light, a security camera, or if possible, both. Also, call someone before you leave, so if anything happens you will be missed.
Another tip: I used to do a lot of traveling for my job. When my plane landed, I would get a taxi to take me home, and I would ALWAYS call my husband from my cell phone. It reassured him that I was safe, plus I knew the driver could hear me talking to him and that if he tried anything funny, my husband would call the cops.
