Anywhere in the world, you only need to run into that one person who happens to want to take something from you. Doesnt matter where you are, what time of day it is, or who you are with. I make a point of remembering this at home and on vacation. Maybe I won't take that late night walk down the beach on my own, instead I will stay at the bar where there are lots of folks around. Common sense, and to be honest, there has been more crime in my neighborhood here in Canada lately then ever, so its a daily thing for me.....lock the doors, do a check of the area before I get in the car....sad, but necessary.
