Criminals are more intelligent than we give them credit for when it comes to their choice of victims. They do not typically choose a victim at random, but rather when they see a good opportunity available to them. It’s the same scenario as the low hanging fruit or the mentality of a predator when he sees an injured animal in the wild. They will prey on those who are vulnerable, unaware, or viewed as an uncomplicated target. If you act as if you are familiar with your surroundings, show strength.
