Who is looking!
Most of us come and go in some kind of vehicle, so walking the streets checking out your fellow walker is not a normal situation.
Walking to your vehicle with your better half (in my case much better) is an area that is of concern, as you look at others, they also look at you! if you look like a victim you are sending out vibes, if you do not look like a victim, you are also projecting an image.
Mugging/attacking individuals by single individuals is a business of sorts, they get cash for it yes? In the case of a handy looking man, not small, or if small, balanced, walks good, head up, relaxed, well lets try someone else is sometimes the thought, not always, but sometimes.
As we travel by car, getting in it is a skill all on it's own, make sure you get to it on your own, look around, observe! electronic key and door opener in hand, one press, no beep, drivers door is unlocked, step in, close door lean on lock button, key in, drive off, always back in, seat belt after leaving parking area.
How many times do you watch people fumble with keys, juggle goods in hand, bend down to find key hole in dark! Victim/Victim.
There are better areas, but no SAFE areas, BGs have transport too.
Not to worried about skin color, my Wife is of Indian decent.
